I worked at a well known Chevy dealer back in the early 1970s and the GM BB gaskets were silver as far back as I can remember. The originals were very cheap and brittle.

Even my '66 L72 in the Vette has silver gaskets.

Chris I am going to the going to the AACA show in Lakeland FL in Feb. we should hook up while their, Also did you know their is another show on Feb 2 at Old Town by Ecklers its a 1000 point show.
I bought my car from the original owner and my car had the bolt on upper control arm nuts on it and the original owner said it was that way when he bought it new.
My car was built in Baltimore 2nd week 1969. I have also seen another car that was built 100 cars down the line with the same upper shaft nuts.
Might have been the plant ran out of the other shafts so they slapped a set of OBP uppers on a bunch of cars not to stop production?
I will look up Ricks for the correct oil cap.

It looks correct but like you said can't see the S on the rivet.

Could be a better shot but here's the oil cap you're looking for.



A closer look at the rivet.

The one I have on my car now has the S rivet on it but it has too many round circles on the inside of the cover. I guess I will call Ricks camaro and see if that one has the S on the rivet.

Edit: I called Ricks Camaro and it does have the S on the rivet.
