My Corvette(s):
1973 Red on Red Coupe
Default Radiator Cap

What is the right pressure rating for a 73 L-48 Radiator cap. I think the one I bought is rated at 15 lbs. Is this right? Also Im thinking of replacing radiator any ideas on where I can buy one for around $300 bucks. And is it hard to replace it or should I have it done at a shop?

Thanks
Daniel

The guy at The Last Detail was telling met that a standard replacement was in the $150 - 200 range. Obviously the aliminum from the name brand people get a lot more expensive.

My radiator cap is either 15 or 16 pounds. I got that at TLD as well.
