    For some reason, not all the caps got the rubber piece. Here is a shot of the 173 mile T/A, you can tell it never had one installed.

    Thx Bullitt,

    I might just buy it.  It always bothered me that it rattles around.  Maybe I just have too much time on my hands?

    Hey guys, in reading this thread I have a question.....

    I got a Stant locking gas cap for my 70 and it sure does build a lot of pressure when I open it......should I look for another cap and if so anyone got a brand/part number?

    They are pretty easy to take apart, the upper & lower body are Dichromate like a Holley carb, plenty of shops offer that finish, & the cup portion is clear zinc...
