Some time back a cooling set up was discussed that had a pressurized

and
how is it plumbed? Is this the recommended set  up?    Sorry to ask
for
a repeat.  I thought I saved the relevant posts but I did not.

My guess is about a gallon. Swirl would not hurt. Continental uses
about a two gallon tank. Most of the modern cars seem to be
going that route.

 I assume that there is just a single in/out hose to the can with a
pressure cap on top.  If the cap valve opens, is coolant dumped
overboard?    

Yes.

How does the swirl pot  without a cap work in
conjunction with the overflow tank?   

Separate parts ?

Is the overflow tank the high
point in the system?   Jerry

Yes.
