In Reply to: Pressure Cap Revisited. (For Paul) posted by Ugg, North of Chi-Town on Friday, August 08, 2008 at 12:07:38 :
The only pressure caps I have seen with the lever are button are aftermarket. The lever or button is a selling point. You can buy pressure caps without the lever or button.
However, keep in mind that is your radiator neck is not designed for a modern pressure cap, it will never seal. Also keep in mind the quality of your core. If its not good, a pressure cap may make it leak quickly.
All my radiators are re-cored, tanks checked and pressure necks added. Then I run a 7psi
cap with no issues.
