Not suggesting this for you, I'm sure I'd just be happy with the new cap, but someone could just plug a t fitting in the bypass hose and check pressure.

Good tip.

I can't use it for my car because I don't use a bypass hose (no machined port in the intake). I use a drilled thermostat from Stewart. That part works great.

I also have a Stewart thermostat as well as a Stewart water pump. I don't remember what temp the stat is.

Hey Wayne, I've decided to install subframe connectors, as you did, on my Nova. Without looking first, did you encounter a problem with the parking brake cables??

Hi there…they fit nicely with the Competition Engineering connectors I used. If you click to post #137 of this thread you can see the front of the routing. Zero issues at the rear as well….if you jump to the cars for sale section, my ad is still up for the car (although no longer for sale).. there are several good images of the chassis and park brake cables. Hope this helps

Thanks for that Wayne!! Also, where were you able to source the stainless parking brake cables??

IIRC, they came from Inline Tube.
