What's the pressure rating for a stock late BJ8 radiator cap?

At some stage in its history my car was fitted with a 4 lb cap that I would like to replace.
 
I believe the Healey radiator requires a cap that will seal the somewhat taller filler neck (someone please correct if I'm wrong--I know you will ;). Either measure your existing cap--if it works correctly--or get the correct one from one of the specialists.

Prolly a good idea to measure both the depth and the cap. The 7-pounders come in 3/4" and 1" reaches.
