    1963 corvette radiator cap

    I have the original 307 13# radiator cap for my 63 vette and I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to replace the rubber gasket that seals the cap to the expansion tank. If I run the car with this cap the system will not go under pressure and fluid will push out the overflow when it expands. The rubber gasket has a groove from age but other than that the cap seems ok.
    Thanks for your help, Timothy Barbieri

      Get a good new Stant cap for driving and use the original for show. The caps that relieve the pressure without removing the cap are the best.
