1968 Dart cooling system & gauge Questions

Depending on the cap type you want check for the valve hanging down. The numbers below were just the caps I had from my adventure in radiator caps and both were manufactured by MOTORAD, look identical and have no numbers stamped on them except the 16 lbs

THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE CAPS HAVE GOTTEN SWITCH IN THEIR BOXES OVER TIME SO DONT QUOTE ME ON THE PART NUMBERS

This one will only pressurize after some spot boiling occurs (Note the valve is open, factory style)
