Re: Radiator Caps

There are places all over the country commonly referred to as "auto parts stores". Ask around, I bet you'd find one in your local area.

Re: Radiator Caps

but he DID answer your question.

few years ago i had to replace my LT1 cap...something like $7 at NAPA

but like they said...it has to be the 18lbs version....the LT1 (and i think LS1) require much higher pressure caps for the cooling system

Re: Radiator Caps

At the risk of irritating you even more.... turn off your caps lock when you post. I've seen all caps in several of your posts, and I think that's why you are getting the "Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word In The Post" result in your initial post.
