Radiator Cap
I am looking to buy a new radiator cap for my 90. The cap currently on there is an AC Delco 17 psi., HC-44 with two ears on the side. It looks very old and the rubber is deteriorating. I see an AC Delco RC 81 on rock auto for sale. this RC 81 has a 15 psi rating and no ears on it for turning. Any suggestions? What s the best cap and rating to buy?

Re: Radiator Cap
Below, I believe, is what came with the car and replaced with the same about 10 years ago. AC-Delco 15 psi.

Re: Radiator Cap
Hi! You have AC Delco RC44 17psi available in Summit Racing (there are two other 17 psi caps from Griffin Radiators brand)
I don't know if it's good for our LT-5's the 15 or 16 psi caps. Service manual and technical information specifies 17 psi caps.

Re: Radiator Cap
When you select "1990 Corvette" to check the caps suitability only appear AC Delco RC44...

Re: Radiator Cap
I know stock is 17 lb cap, but I have been running this Mr.Gasket one for as long as I can remember, but they were half the price then. It is 16 lbs and never had a problem. If you only want stock sorry and please disregard. They come in red and blue too. Don?t mind me I?m always different. 😂🤙🏼
