                                  look at the Tiger Parts List
                                  Supplement (pub number 6601131) and
                                  I'm guessing this only covers the
                                  Tigers up to  B382001521 because it
                                  only shows the 1224725 header tank and
                                  Ron has  Parts List 6601334 which show
                                  two more tanks.    Parts List 
                                  6601131  says the 9 lb. cap is for
                                  "later" cars and the 13 lb. cap is for
                                  "earlier" cars.  This seems to
                                  contradict what is in TBON.  Is it
                                  possible that some of the earliest
                                  cars had 13 lb. caps and then they
                                  went to 9 lb. caps until they changes
                                  the header tanks?</p>

                                  <p>The Rootes part number for the 9
                                    lb. cap is 5220487 and when I Google
                                    that number I can see that is also a
                                    Mopar part number from back in the
                                    day.  All of the usual sources want
                                    to cross this over to a 13 lb. cap. 
                                    I did find a 9 lb. cap made by
                                    Motorad but I can't find what the
                                    stem length is.  I guess I will have
                                    to go down to the different part
                                    stores and look at what they have.  </p>

                                        doesn't say it's for the Tiger,
                                        it just says it's for the series

                                                    13 lbs. for later
                                                    cars is correct</p>

                                                        think the
                                                        pressure spring
                                                        part under the

                                                        short.  I almost
                                                        immediately
                                                        start getting

                                                        up.  I measured

                                                        sit and got
                                                        .777".  I
                                                        measured the cap
                                                        from the big
                                                        rubber seal just
                                                        under the cap to
                                                        the small rubber
                                                        seal at the end
                                                        of the spring
                                                        and got
                                                        something like
                                                        .75".  So it
                                                        looks like I
                                                        need a cap with
                                                        a longer spring
