Brown should be corvette.Shoud'nt a LS6 cap have a patent # on it, as late'67 caps had the pat/ # on the remy cap?
Tough subject as '68 was the "pat pen to pat# year for most chevys and a D308 [no R] are a nice find these days NOS.

I don't have my info with me but the patent pending # was not on the '70 cap and I believe it was not after '68 but don't quote me.

When our car was Diamond Certified last June, I had a 'runner' cap with Patent Pending and the pending number installed on the distributor. During judging, I was asked by the judge if I knew what cap this car should use. I said that it should have the Patent Pending Delco Remy R cap on it to which he replied, "then why you have the patent # cap on?" That little oversight cost my customer 10 points and me a bunch of embarrasment! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
