As you all probably know better than me, I believe Healey's had either 4 psi or 7 psi radiator caps. I recently found a source of 10 or 15 psi radiator caps that would work with the 1" long neck of an original healey radiator. They look identical to the caps sold by Moss (Made in England), so I would bet they are made by the same company.
Here is the link to one of them:

My BJ8 with a rebuilt engine, new radiator, new metal fan still gets too hot when stuck in very heavy traffic. I am just looking for some added comfort at these rare times, to enable me to drive off the freeway if the needle hits 130, instead of having to turn off the car in the middle of the road.
Do you think the wear and tear on the cooling system would be much higher with 2X the pressure in the system? I have looked into fan shrouds and electric fans, but I haven't read much discussion of uprating the pressure of the cooling system.
Thanks in advance.
