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?<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>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.

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. I almost immediately start getting water out of the overflow tube as the engine warms up. 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". 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".
