Noticed last night that my old 1952 Chevy Deluxe has a modern radiator cap on it, rated at 16 pounds. Although it fits properly, I'm fairly certain that a 16 pound cap isn't correct for a 65 year old car.
I would assume that it should be more like a 4 pound, or possibly a 7 pound cap.
Is there some reason (other than scarce availability of a 4 pound cap), that someone would fit a 16 pound cap here? I can't think of any.
This is a 235 cubic inch straight 6, with an original style radiator and water pump. Rock Auto has a 4 pound cap, that would appear to fit.
