Every 1 PSI of pressure raises the boiling point 3 degrees, so unless the coolant is getting above 212 degrees for some reason no pressure should be needed. Just install an overflow tank and don't fill the radiator all the way to the top. Any coolant that ends up in the puke tank will get drawn back into the radiator, as long as there's a good seal between the zero-pressure cap and the top of the radiator filler neck. You can make a zero-pressure cap by removing the lower rubber gasket of the existing cap. Jerry
