quote:I recently called around to a few Pantera shops, and they said run it sealed.
Would that be the vendor that has sold Windsor thermostats for our Cleveland engines?
Perhaps the vendor that told me, with all sincerity, that it is not necessary to have the ZF ring and pinion bolts safety wired?
Maybe the vendor that sold Lord-knows-how-many reproduction, "bolt-in" clutch master cylinders that had such cheap o-rings that they tended to dissolve and fall apart, sometimes within days of installation?
Perhaps the vendor who told me there are only two versions of the left and right side marker lights? In truth, each side marker corner has its own, unique design and they are marked with different part numbers. I've got all four if anyone needs photographic proof.
Or maybe the vendor that sold, for years, fiberglass front "L" bumpers that were about 2" narrower than the factory original unit?
I could go on....
Bottom line, our vendors are vital to our marque, but they are not always correct.

There are Ford Pantera manuals indicating the surge-pressure-shorter tank uses a 13# cap.
Those same manuals make no note of a pressure rating for the expansion tank, just calling it a cap.
The caps for the two tanks are listed with different part numbers.
The manual illustration clearly shows two different styles of caps.
Again, I am pleased your car runs fine with a pressure cap on the expansion tank.
