What radiator cap and what pressure?

so What radiator cap and what pressure do i need for my FD in need one for the filler neck and for the AST to try and stop a coolant leak i have from the over flow while its running.

...from an ancient thread:

"I talked to Mark at TriPoint Engineering about the caps that come on their AST. The stock 3rd gen pressure cap (Mazda P/N: N3A1-15-205A) without "ears" will work, as well as an older style cap (Mazda P/N: D316-15-205) with "ears". Both are 0.9 Kg/cm (12.8 psi), stock rated caps (do NOT put a higher pressure cap than that on)."

So i can just go to an auto parts store and get 2 radiator caps rated at 12 psi for both the AST and the filler neck and call it good?
