looking for specs for radiator cap on carbureted model. Current cap is rated 13 lb (Motocraft RS-70), could be weak now. Engine running warm (needle half way up gauge). About to replace so though I'd best check. Thanks.

Search found this Automotive Engine Overheating - Causes And Consequences and I consulted my old DIY car books then went ahead and bought replacment cap with same specs as current one. Rode bicycle to parts store so I could take current cap and compare. Good thing. Clerk looked up year, make, model on computer and brought out wrong size cap. Local price range for right size was $10-$20 Canadian dollars each of which is about 75 cents US so $7.50-$15 US.Last edited by WmWatt; 08-24-2023, 09:32 PM.Original owner of silver grey carburetted 1989 Festiva. 105k km as of June 2006. 140k km as of June 2021.
