In regards to radiator caps...
The pressure cap goes on the overflow tank. Tom Walter reports
the original cap to be 7 psi (he also suggests running 30% antifreeze
but that's another topic). I've seen recent posts that suggest very
late cars (like '70) may have a higher PSI cap.

The 1600 has a BLANK cap on the thermostat housing.
The 2000 has a BLANK cap on the radiator.
Blank caps are available from the dealer for more money than
you'd expect a blank cap to be worth...

Only (1) pressure cap per car...
