Thanks, Ed, Al & Mark for you're input. I think I'll go with the simplest solution first, then add an expansion chamber if that doesn't work. I'm thinking of getting one of those plastic overflow bottles with a screen washer bottle fitted up next to it from a breakers yard. I'd mount this high on the firewall. It would be simple to pipe the screen washer to the plenum for use in hot day climb-out. Any thoughts? 21-24 PSI seems a bit high for the cap, though. I have a 16lb cap. Do you think I should change it? John ------=_NextPart_000_0012_01C3BBDD.15C4EE60 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
