Re: Pressurized Radiator
No tank was mentioned in the original post: "Does anyone out there run a pressurized radiator? Can you tell me how and where to mount the overflow tube?"
I answered that by explaining that on my car a rubber hose was attached to the overflow tube and run to underneath the car. However, the information about overflow tanks is still valuable and may help John with his coolant spitting issue.
All modern cars have a pressurized radiator. But a pressurized radiator is not going to magically solve cooling problems for a 90 year old car that was designed to use an atmospheric radiator. If you have a leak proof water pump and the engine has no issues then a pressurized radiator will work. I am still of the mind that it is not needed. Regarding the mess made by a leaking radiator cap, I put an oversize O ring on my cap which makes a good seal.
