I found the description of how to plumb the tank on a previous thread, but I think I'm missing something. When using the Dorman tank, you don't use a pressure release cap at all in the system? Or is the screw-on cap on the tank a pressure release cap?

Dorman coolant tank
to mount tank, go as high as you can with the spyder in place so you can access the tank cap and close the rear clip. Two brackets needed.
trim off any protrusions on the tank that get in the way.
connections:
the bottom of the main drivers side coolant tube requires a straight one-inch spud (long enough to get a hose on) that goes to the one-inch connection on the bottom of the Dorman tank. they use a straight piece of one-inch ID hose.
there are two 3/8" connections on the tank. the front one goes to the drivers side radiator bleed fitting on drivers side. use a 90 degree fitting on the radiator.
the rear 3/8" fitting on the Dorman tank goes to the steam vent line on the engine.
