Re: Gas Cap for '70 Nova
I know first hand that the cap will not fit the reproduction gas tank that I just installed. I bought the Canadian made tank produced by Spectra, and the stock cap will not fit. We tried a bunch of aftermarket caps and none of them would fit. So I contacted the seller, and was given a part number for the correct cap, available from them and through NAPA.Anyway, the cap says that it is vented(Non EEC) and it fits great.Filled the tank, and after 24 hours in 40 degree weather took the cap off. Gas and vapour shot out the filler neck like a hose. On a hot day, the built up pressure would have blown back through the carb for sure. The only solution was to drill out the vent.Not stock, not pretty and not as designed. I am tired of repop parts that do not fit or work as they should.
