The main worry, as regards cooling system pressure, is the end tanks on the
heater core. Your radiator will be more than happy at anything the rest of the
system can handle.
Griffin recommends a 16 to 18 pound cap maximum.

Subject: [Tigers] Heater control valve
Hello All
With a aluminum radiator, what should the pounds of the cap should be on the
overflow tank? I have had a 13 pound cap on the overflow tank and have gone
through 3 heater control values in 5700 miles and they all leak.
So now I am thinking about a 90 degrees manual valve with a very short handle
that would fit in the stock location as the heater control valve utilizing the
bracket of the heater control valve that would allow me to bleed all air from
the motor at the highest point, which I believe is the heater core,. The idea
is try and and retain as close to possible the stock correct look, be able to
bleed any air when refilling the radiator and have the ability to manually turn
on the heater once to twice a year as I live in a very moderate environment and
drive the car year round.
Any ideas as to a part number or manufacture that would meet these requirements
or any other ideas?
Thanks
Joel Martin
