Re: 1966 and later BB thermostats
Michael,
It's a moot point for you since you now have the DeWitt's aluminum radiator. But for the possible benefit of others, I would say that seven inches is probably too far down (I can't say for sure on a L71). The mark on my L72 Is 3 3/4 " below the cap mating surface. If I filled it cold to that line, it did not puke coolant at all. So I would guess that something else was wrong with your car, maybe the old radiator was not up to snuff.
