Here's another listing for one that also shows the applications. Fits just about all V8s with 15 lb closed systems;

This one was also a true auction, which bid to just under $80, so maybe that is a good ballpark estimate of market value.

I have only seen those caps used on oldsmobiles. They are not correct for any chevy or pontiac in my opinion.

Roto-Safe caps were never installed on our era assembly line vehicles as far as I know.They were produced years later &amp; released later as an over the counter service/customer replacement that went above the federal minimum guidelines of what the assembly line had to install back then.This newly designed cap allowed you to release psi.w/o unseating the cap from an overheated radiator.
Nearly any vehicle that receieved an RC-15 cap in it's day,was OK to use this upgraded designed cap as a safer replacement to the old.It was also much more costly to the consumer,compared to the std. RC-15 used on the line.
