I have a Spectra 70 model tank in my 70 Nova, and only the EEC cap (the wide one) fits, a standard cap will not fit, pain in ass. Somebody mentioned a fix for this,? I'm all ears and eyes, let me know

Jim,
You must have had the exact same experience I had. We are not talking about a little pressure in the tank.That "vented" cap seals the tank tight. When I remove the cap you can see the entire tank "flex" as the vapor escapes. For sure you would blow that back through the carbs on a hot day and you'd be stuck. I too would like to hear from someone who has bought these parts and found a solution to the problem. Marc
