The instructions also go on to state;
"For applications where 7lb cap is not available or cap location is on the pressure side of the cooling system, the standard cap may be used".
Would you describe this to be the setup on a 289/302 with a Harrison overflow tank? I can't load pictures but you can see my setup in my gallery.

I have the degas tank on my engine,I just replaced the 13lb cap with a 7lb cap and the engine never spit a drop of coolant in the overflow. As long as you have no air in the system you will not build up much pressure for example I can drive the car for an hour running at 190deg come home and remove the rad cap with out a drop off coolant coming out and the hoses are soft.
