Can someone tell me if the radiator or swirl tank cap is #13 or #16 pressure cap on originbal Panteras.

Let me re-phrase that I have a 13# cap and it seems to leak coolant on to the swirl tank and run down to my headers, if I use #16 cap is or would that be too much pressure ?

The main idea in the stock cooling system is the cap on the tall tank, called the expansion tank, should be rated 2 or 3 psi higher than the cap on the smaller tank, which DeTomaso called the system tank, which you are calling the swirl tank.

Running a higher pressure cap on the system tank always runs the risk of creating a leak somewhere else like the heater core, but if you feel your Pantera's system is up to it, just install a higher rated expansion tank cap at the same time.
