Following a bout of overheating (and I might add overeating) at Reno, I 
was advised to install 14 psi cap on my 1960 vintage race MGA.

In my case, it seemed a much better plan to fix the overheating problem. 
 
Are there any advantages to a higher boiling point other than delaying 
boiling over for 2 more minutes? at a potential cost of blowing a freeze 
plug (done that) or a hose (done that)
