Radiator Pressure Cap for 83 Mustang

Aug 16, 2003 2 Replies

Hi,



Recently an independent garage replaced the radiator cap on my 83 Mustang (3.8 liter engine, automatic) with a new pressure cap. Since that time, my cooling system has developed a couple of leaks. The pressure cap he installed says it is 16 lbs. Is that correct for this Mustang?



Thanks.

14-16lbs is just fine............

And as to the subsequent leaks, that's to be expected if the previous cap was weak... they would have happened anyway, the bad cap just delayed them.
