Default Re: Pressurize a cooling system


Thank you all for your inputs

Sorry for calling the radiator a cooler!

I have a 1930 AA long wheelbase dually truck, and it runs hot sometimes if I carry a heavy load. If I give her more fuel she’s happy, but that’s not how I like to keep temperature under control. The engine is fully rebuilt - new carburetor, new radiator … A pressurized cooling system would definitely help. The engine is on the weak side and I might install a Flathead V8 in the future. Do you need an aftermarket radiator made to be pressurized, or will the std type radiator make it? I don’t know who made it, so I can’t ask them. I only plan to run 3-4 PSI, so I guess I will give it a try and see what happens.
