Well, it looks "right" with regards to fitting on the pipe; but of course, without the oil-separator tube it will not be OE-factory authentic.

Of course, the one thing that I did not says is that I have two 66 parts cars in the yard, and they both probably have this cap.

Re: Oil Filler cap '66 462 open system
No, I was referring to the one pictured in post #15, without the separator tube. That one will fit onto the filler pipe, but it most likely will not be as efficient in trapping oil. I'm thinking the aftermarket designers did not see the purpose of that center tube and filter, and they decided to leave it off as extraneous. It isn't the first time the aftermarket botched the reproduction of an original design; I mean, let's not forget the botched reproduction of the fuel pump.action wrote:Are you talking about the cap in post #1?TonyC wrote:Well, it looks "right" with regards to fitting on the pipe; but of course, without the oil-separator tube it will not be OE-factory authentic.

The one pictured in post #1 is the proper design, original-factory.

Re: Oil Filler cap '66 462 open system
The picture used in post 15 was swiped from the world wide web to use as an example of the clips to hold the cap to the pipe.
That example is a typical and correct for early 1960s FE engine oil fill cap. While that cap is a reproduction, the OE design for FE engines is the same way.

Re: Oil Filler cap '66 462 open system
That’s perfect. I need to find a replacement for mine. Too much pitting in the metal.

Re: Oil Filler cap '66 462 open system
John Brewer has one or two that are different.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1961-1966-Linc ... ondition=4
Which just throws some doubt on this whole thread. That one he has does not have the short pipe in the center.
Which may be a difference between the B6AZ and the C6VY he mentions in his post dated 12-05-2019 at 10:24. (Wish these posts were numbered)
Then there is the C3AZ
I am a bit confused
