Re: gmc radiator pressure valve fix.

It's always best to start your own new thread than tack a question on the end of a 13 year dead thread. Folks will toss out an answer to the first post and never scroll down the page to see what you asked.

One thing, these old radiators and heater cores will handle 4 to 7 lbs pressure max before they fail. Add in that a 70 year old radiator has a lot bigger chance of failing. Even 7 lbs is pushing the limit.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
