'48 F!. I used to lose coolant. Got a small recovery tank from a S10 brand x. Ran a hose from the overflow tube to the tank. My radiator cap had two seals. One at the top of the tank and one below it at the top of the radiator. Removed the bottom seal so it could transfer coolant to and from the tank. Not running any pressure and don't need to. Radiator runs full all the time. Never overheats or loses coolant.
