It appears I have the MOPAR 5220487 Filler cap =E2=80=93 good to know.

=C2=A0

This also indicates that any 522xxxx number in the Parts List is a Chrysler=

Cap indicates 9 lbs. and G630.

Rubber seal to rubber seal is .805=E2=80=9D.

I installed a catch bottle for the header tank overflow.=C2=A0=C2=A0 Catche=

=C2=A0

The Parts lists indicates 9 lbs. later cars and 13 lbs. early cars.

=C2=A0

Hi,

=C2=A0

I'm hoping one of you guys can tell me what radiator cap I should be using.=
=C2=A0 I've tried a cap that was listed as being for a Tiger on Autozone's =
website but I think the pressure spring part under the cap is too short.=C2=
=A0 I almost immediately start getting water out of the overflow tube as th=
e engine warms up.=C2=A0 I measured the depth of the expansion tank opening=
 from the top edge to the flange where the spring part of the cap would sit=
 and got .777".=C2=A0 I measured the cap from the big rubber seal just unde=
r the cap to the small rubber seal at the end of the spring and got somethi=
ng like .75".=C2=A0 So it looks like I need a cap with a longer spring stem=
.=C2=A0=C2=A0

=C2=A0

A brand name and part number would be great=C2=A0 And also, what should the=
 pressure rating be?=C2=A0 What I have is 13 lbs.

=C2=A0

Thanks,

Joe Brown
