I have been running the stock radiator cap(or what I believe to be stock). It has no markings as to signify the pressure rating. I ended up swapping it out for the 10PSI cap I was given from the shop when I had the radiator recored. It's was 94F today and with the new cap, engine temp stayed just above 180. Creeps up to 190 sitting still but cools quickly once moving again.

Got my head back from the machine shop today for my daily driver. New exhaust valve and resurfaced, hopefully I'll get it installed this weekend. I love driving the old ford, but sure do miss the a/c for the daily commute.
