I can't do that because the overflow outlet tube is oriented to the radiator cap cutouts. If you rotate the cap, then the overflow is pointing in the wrong direction.

High Efficiency radiator

The engine is stock .030 overbore with a Ram Air 3 cam. Maybe I will pull the spark plugs and look at them. I don't detect any pinging sounds.

High Efficiency radiator

The problem with this is this is a one-owner, numbers matching original 1965 GTO. An aluminum radiator with extra fans would look out of place.
