[DeTomaso] Pressure Cap

[Thomas Borcich]

Jim...I have the Stant 11330, I kept the card board package that it's shrink wrapped to and 
thats how it's market?  All I know is it fits, and doesn't overheat!  When I got the car I could 
see that the tank would spit out fluid...Dick Dreske told me to take it to Tempco radiators in 
Signal Hill CA (the owner is a neighbor of ours, lives a few houses down from Dick....I handed 
it to them said "put an American neck on it like you do for  Dick Dreske"...got it back, used that 
cap and it cured the problem. If you need more specifics I can call Bob who is the owner of Tempco.

Best regards,



Tom Borcich
