You have to look at it this way: that 16lb cap just found what would eventually be a major problem when it failed, and probably at the most in-opportune time. I did the same thing on my '56, put a 16lb cap on it. I ended up replacing the radiator, and the heater core on the firewall because of this. It found all the weak points in the system for me, that's for sure!

BTW, the heater that's under the seat is for the rear seat passengers. You should have one on the passenger side firewall. If you don't, then someone removed it.
