Radiator cap for FB....???
Trying to get a new radiator cap for my 1985 base model FB...12a
Ordered one online and it was far too big, it was part number 10329.
Went into an Advance auto parts store, and they had the 10329 listed as correct, but they also had a 10229. I chose the 10229. Again, too big. (As in the rubber plug part will not nearly fit into the throat of the radiator.
What am I missing here? What is the proper part number?
EDIT":: Pep Boys also lists the 329 and 229 caps like Advance.
Autozone lists a 7013....but it's got terrible reviews, loose fit, etc.....they list a vented cap but it is not available.
So can anyone recommend a good cap? Thanks in advance!

long story short there are THREE radiator caps.
there is the 12A one, which is ~3" in diameter, sounds like it doesn't fit. the GSL-SE one, which is the same size but different. and then the late cars, and some of the replacement radiators use a small cap, about 2" in diameter, if the big caps don't work, buy a cap for an 1986 Rx7
