Power steering cap detail

I'll add that most of the ps caps I've seen on 69 Camaros are the plastic type. YMMV.

I have inspected 69 camaros built 09B (of 68)and they had black plastic caps. 67 and 68 were metal. The pump for 69 was changed and this may have has something to do with the cap change.

Steve,

Here are a couple more survivor photos of ps caps. First one is a 12K original mile 69 Camaro SB car, it has the plastic cap (built 6A). Second picture is a 26K mile 69 Chevelle SS (engine painted, ps pump unrestored/unpainted, built 2A).

Phil,

Regarding that survivor 26K mile 69 Chevelle... What plant was it built at?

I ask because my Chevelle was built 1B at Kansas City, and it has the plastic cap.

Bill,

The Chevelle is a Baltimore car.

and that picture clearly shows it WAS painted ...

the cap WAS painted, the outer portions of the paint had come off due to the leakage of the PS fluid
