They should all siphon back to work properly. Basically it's a bottle with a tube that goes to the bottom (coming from the radiator overflow) and a breather hole in the top of the bottle.

To make your rad suck the puked fluid, you just need a later model rad cap. One with 2 rubber seals instead of one.
Mine is run to an extra indshield washer resivour as stated above.
