Default Re: ?? History of non pressure radiator caps

Perry, I found this info on these caps (that I was asking about on your 4 sale ad) in the EFV8C/A 1935-36 Ford Book on pg. 108.

"The radiator cap for the '35-'36 radiator was a bail type cadmium plated steel cap. This cap had a steel rivet in the center. In approximately April/May of '36, this steel rivet, which connected the steel cap and locking cup was changed to brass to reduce corrosion. The cap remained unchanged throughout the '36 model year"


I have no idea of the full history on the non pressure type radiator caps. I believe the 78 number you say is hard to read on the tags on these caps may actually be a 48.

The '37-'38 and '39 radiator caps were totally different than the caps described in your ad.
