Default What pound ? Radiator cap

Was thinking of replacing my radiator cap before road trip.
I Went to an auto parts store and asked for a new cap,
They told me a fuel inj. car was a 7lb and a carb. car was 13lb.
I asked them why is there is a difference between injection and carburetor, nobody knew.

I have a 62 250 hp 4 barrel 327 engine, With a 7lb cap.
Should i have the 13lb ? Why the difference between fuel and carb ?

Thanks
