frank,
you need a rad cap for an MGA.   there was a time  that the distance between
the top edge of the rad cap neck or rad filler  (what ever ya wanna call
it?) and the bottom area where a cap seats was  deeper than the common depth
in todays rads.  a modern cap fits but  does not seal in older rads.    

chuck.



Or a TR3 as they had a deep neck also.  Some of the TR guys have  their neck 
replaced at the radiator shop with a newer style so they can use the  more 
common caps.  Should take you all of 15 minutes to do this  modification Frank.
