Ken,
At 0340664 The radiators changed, and a pressure bottle was added with the
pressure cap on the bottle. Without the bottle, the pressure cap is on the
radiator. The early radiator has a larger tank on the driver side, and no
level sensor on the passenger side tank. By serial number both of your
cars use the solid cap, but having two pressure caps on a system won't
bother if they both seal properly. The one with the lower release pressure
will rule.
