Title: Oil Caps Used on Non-Thermactor Engines
Post by: greekz on July 20, 2022, 05:01:12 PM
According the latest 1967 Registry, GT-350 oil caps were chrome and had either FoMoCo in an oval or a stamped Autolite depending on production time frame. 

My question is, would either of the oil caps pictured with Autolite stamped on them be correct for a June production at SA?

Thanks,

Greek

I have seen the bottom one used with Autolite in the center. I have not seen the marked style in the upper picture used on the ones I have had and observed over more then a few decades. With that said I haven't seen them all but if it was used (off center one )it was in the vast minority.
