Mike,

I wish I had about a dozen of those. Repops do look good, but the lettering and size of the depression in the middle are different. I'm still happy with the repops though. I did have Beringer cad plate the original from my Camaro and it turned out very nice.

WOW!! I recently picked one up from Rick's First Generation Camaro Parts.. The cap is an excellent reproduction and made very well!! It even comes in an older style AC Box..
I would highly recommend this cap over any other repops. I was at National Parts Depot in Canton, Michigan just before Christmas with a friend who was buying some Chevelle parts. I looked at one of their repop caps which was junk, poor quality and construction!! Rick's quality was much nicer...

Can you post a few pictures of the one from Rick's?? I had bought one from Paragon a few years ago and sent it back. It was cheesy looking, bad font stamping, light gauge metal.

Mark, yes I will try to post them. I am not to good at doing same..

Just a reminder about reproduction caps, make sure you test them for correct relief pressure before using them.
Sometimes there way high.

I would say Ed does. He bought out a very large inventory from a GM dealership that specialised if I remember correctly in corvettes and muscle cars and has a warehouse full of NOS 60's and early 70's GM parts.Last time we spoke he indicated there was so much he didnot even know himself what was there.He said he was in his 60's now and time to move it to people who can put it to use rather than hold on to it. I had two of those big eared caps which brought just over 500 each.I am not sure when GM stopped making them but it was early on since I have ones I bought in the mid 70's and they are small ear. The repo is close.

those NOS rad caps are not the same as the original they say stainless on the bottoms, I had one on my JL8 car.

I have seen three original versions of this cap and there may be more one with stainless embossed or stamped one with out and one cap just stamped steel. Gm didnot buy these all from one supplier. I don't see the stainless stamped on this in the normal location however.Where do you see it???
