Default Re: Value of NOS RC-115 radiator cap?

Roto-Safe caps were never installed on our era assembly line vehicles as far as I know.They were produced years later & released later as an over the counter service/customer replacement that went above the federal minimum guidelines of what the assembly line had to install back then.This newly designed cap allowed you to release psi.w/o unseating the cap from an overheated radiator.
Nearly any vehicle that receieved an RC-15 cap in it's day,was OK to use this upgraded designed cap as a safer replacement to the old.It was also much more costly to the consumer,compared to the std. RC-15 used on the line.

RC-115 caps were recommended for:
