radiator cap help!!!

Im having a hard time finding a radiator cap thats 14 lbs. Most of the stores give me a 13 lb cap but mine reads 14psi. Any one know what the stock radiator cap number is? Mine is a CSF raditator and cap.

One lb won't make a difference if all else is in good condition.

Each lb raises the boiling point 3* F.
