@jimynick  I did buy a replacement cap and it was no better. I think I'm going for a new rad as the current one is seemingly too small for my engine. That according to local old pro and the Champion website.

and if it does not seal tightly and allow pressure to build, it is going to blow the coolant out...

I have a 26" 3 row Champion Aluminium. Been sufficient for my 440. BUT, If stock appearing is important to you, buy something else.

@dodj  That's what I was thinking of going with. I have no fender tag or build sheet and the top end of the engine is all Edelbrock so stock looking isn't a priority. Are you also using a high volume water pump?
