Default Overheating (Radiator cap question)

whats up guys, i've been having a stupid problem lingering with me for a while. I have one of them ebay aluminum radiators and the original cap is gone, so i've gone through a couple STANT caps the local advance auto part carry. I really wasn't too sure of any of the sizes so I grabbed a couple different ones.

The last one I had one kinda sealed, but fluid seemed to boil past the seal, and wouldn't flow into the overflow tank. it just steams.

anyone know a cap that'll fit this piece of ****?

so i find theres two kinds of caps, this one looks nice, which one is the right fit?



btw, right now i have the type A cap. the plunger type. is that wrong?

damn, so what'd you do, toss it out. i'm wondering if this flange on the radiator neck is some length that doesn't really work, like a bad cast. i just know it needs to be a two way cap. but i haven't really found an answer when it comes to ebay radiators.

do you have the part number on the rad? if so you can take it the advance and they should be able to do a cross check.

goto JHPUSA or PWDJDM and get one for 25 bucks..

the A type is correct..

If it doesnt fit, i would look into a rad NOT from ebay
