48 8N Funk VS Standard 8N Radiator Cap Interchange?

Hello,
According to Steiner's specs it appears the pressurised 2N and 8N radiator caps will work. Below is the measurements off my neck. Any hands swapping would be appreciated.
Thank's,

While the caps may fit, and they appear to be similar, the concern is the pressurized rating of the cap. For every pound you raise the system pressure, you raise the boiling point of the coolant almost 3 degrees. In automotive, we are seeing 20 lb. systems because we run them at such high temperatures for emissions. Cooling systems should not be pressurized above their factory rating or you can find leaks. That said, you should be good on the tractor.
 
Something I found interesting is how much the coolant temperature effects cylinder wear. Through my former employer I used to have access to Continental's testing documents. We had access to the book's not sure where to find them online.

hank's, and as always like seeing the tractor. The previous owner of mine thought the carburetor linkage wasn't right but it looks just like yours. Did you sneak a Carter carburetor on there?
 
(quoted from post at 11:04:02 09/08/20) Not sure of the make of the carb as it came with the tractor and I never had to work on it.
have seen a couple with the glass bowl Holley carbs, don't know if they are correct for the 48/49 though.
