40 radiator
My ‘40 convertible has a large radiator cap, which I assume is correct. My problem with it is that my pressure checker does not have an adapter to fit the neck. Does someone make the adapter? Sid

Re: 40 radiator
If you have a stock radiator you’ll not be able to pressure test unless you block off the overflow tube.

Re: 40 radiator
As Ken said, the stock radiator isn't a pressurized system. If you are chasing a leak I wouldn't try to add more than 3 or 4 psi or you risk damaging the tanks that weren't designed to hold pressure.
