[Mgs] radiator question

[Richard Lindsay]

   I put an Al radiator in my '72 MGB and stayed with a '7 pound' cap - and
I live in the solar-oven called Houston, Texas. The new radiator is do
efficient that the few degrees of boiling point elevation given by a higher
pressure system is, in my car's case, unnecessary - plus it adds stress on
hoses, gaskets and as Mr. Hill says, the many decades old heater core.
Worth including: My MGB uses a 50:50 green antifreeze and distilled water
coolant mixture.
