Default Radiator cap ID
Anyone else got a radiator cap like this? Its original to the car, 1973 model built in Dec 72.
Its toast and needs replacing but the number is worn off and I haven't been able to ID it. Its an "RC" something. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I am no expert and do not own a 73 however I have a feeling that is not original to your car.
I did find this.

Unless originality is critical, you can replace that cap with any good quality 15 lb. cap supplied by your local parts store.
