Do the Nova guys out there know if the gas cap pictured above will have problems fitting correctly to a repro gas tank?

I know first hand that the cap will not fit the reproduction gas tank that I just installed. I bought the Canadian made tank produced by Spectra, and the stock cap will not fit. We tried a bunch of aftermarket caps and none of them would fit. So I contacted the seller, and was given a part number for the correct cap, available from them and through NAPA.Anyway, the cap says that it is vented(Non EEC) and it fits great.Filled the tank, and after 24 hours in 40 degree weather took the cap off. Gas and vapour shot out the filler neck like a hose. On a hot day, the built up pressure would have blown back through the carb for sure. The only solution was to drill out the vent.Not stock, not pretty and not as designed. I am tired of repop parts that do not fit or work as they should.

Thanks Marc - that has been Schonye's experience too.

Am curious Grady (or M22Mike if u have yr ears on). You sound pretty sure that the cap above would fit the repro tank. Are u referring to yr beautiful '69 burgundy L78 Nova?

Sam, I have a reproduction tank in the burgandy Nova. I purchased the tank from Quanta. We had an original cap replated for the tank and had no problem with it fitting. I did not think that the 70 neck was different. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
