One of the stories my dad liked to tell was about how hard they had to work at Chevrolet Flint Manufacturing (aka "Chevy in the Hole") to get the gas cap to end up straight when it was in the fully locked position. Between the assembly variation within the cap itself, the variation of the cam lock to the fuel tank filler neck, the variation of the neck to the tank, and the tank installation to the vehicle body, it was an ongoing issue.
When he saw Danny Scott's Pro Street Camaro that is one of the first things he noticed: Danny used the gas cap as the master electrical cutoff switch. Rotated out of position = "Off" Rotated into position = "On"
