If the front and rear sealing area are the same size it's a 318/340 rear cap. If it's smaller in the rear it's a 360 rear cap. RIP Monte Smith aka: OutlawFish '98 Bickel Dodge Dakota PST

There's a 360 Milodon for sale here and I didn't want to guess on it.

It's a Charlies pan so it has that wide flat area in the back.
