  its the cap for the overflow tank - as our rads don't have caps.  So..you betcha same part for your car.  I have a friend (granted this is many years ago on a Ford EXP) who had a leaking cap and it ended up causing an overheat and warped head.  

  But to answer your question - I'm using a Ron Davis Alum radiator http://www.rondavisradiators.com/Radiators.htm<http://www.rondavisradiators.com/Radiators.htm> and yes it will fit in your '85 just as it fits in my '84.

  I've also attached a pic

      Guys - just a quick heads up - something to keep the banter up really -
      while driving this weekend in 100F weather my coolant boiled over  -
      apparently my coolant overflow tank cap wore out.  It was only a few
      years old but could not keep a seal.  I picked up a couple yesterday for
      $4each and thought I'd throw this out there as its a cheap spare to keep
      in the car that could prevent a costly repair in these hot summer
      months.
       
      On a similar note-something I've found this summer - a great benefit to
      having this mega cooling from the 200 20V in my car - on hot days in
      traffic w/ the A/C on - the fan is on enough for the A/C system that my
      water temps are significantly lower than when running w/ A/C off...I
      found myself running with windows open and cool (not cold) a/c in my
      face....and low water temps to boot!
