[DeTomaso] Radiator Bottle Caps

[MyCars]

That is exactly what I did Sunday night. I took one of my old 13lb caps 
and crushed the pressure part with a vice, then I pried it off. Now it 
is just a regular cap ;-)

I am still trying to get the air out of the lines and rad... don't know 
if I got it all yet.

Thanks
Roydon
