The only reason for my doing this at all is that I used the bottom tank off a 6 cylinder Chrysler car, and the radiator builder mentioned that the cooling loop might be marginal, as it was not built for an 8 cylinder car. Personally I think that is a lot of hooey, as I am running a bone stock 305. The external cooler I bought is only a little one, at 4" x 11" x 3/4" thick. I will make a set of stand-offs and mount it about 1" off the inside of the passenger side frame rail, with the 4" vertically aligned and the 11" length parallel to the framerail. There is no fan on this thing, it depends on air flow generated by moving down the road. I very seldom have slow in-town traffic to contend with.
i dont blame you brianrupnow, for wanting it right, but i checked and i dont have one and i called 2 dif. shops and both said the top is the pressure they thought, but was something they hadnt thought much about and didnt think it would make a dif. if you really wont to know take your air hose and blow into the lines and the return line wiil be open and you cant blow through the pressure line. dont use a lot of pressure like 5-10 lbs and then youll know. let me know.
