I had a 16 lb. cap on my radiator, which is out of a 65 Ply with Big Block and AC, and a leak slowly developed on the seam of the top tank. the radiator guy I use, who is old and wise, said 16 lb is to much and that 13 lb is the highest you should go.

You guys might laugh at me, but I've fixed cars that ran a little too hot with a new, 16 lb radiator cap. One car had a 7 lb cap, and the other wasn't much higher, if I recall. BTW, I had a 1964 (I think) Plymouth dealer brochure that listed in fine print what a "towing package" was. The difference in cooling was merely a 16 lb radiator cap.
