There are some twist type caps that will fit under the "flip top" - specifically what ???? Something similar to this TRUCK cap, but the diameter looks too big? 6238238-09-29-10_01a.jpg (140 downloads)

Were there any 70 ecs cars? If so they might have used the 71 style necks? I sold many of these on Ebay also back in 2003-05. I haven't sold anything since then. The cap and part# on the RIGHT is for a 71. It listed in Car quest system as a 68 B body, but fits the 71 filler neck perfect. So I'm guessing 68 Bs might have the same design filler neck?

I stopped at a Autozone and a Murreys and they looked at me like "what is a '71 Challenger, I have none listed in my book??". I asked the guy to look up a '71 Charger, and bought a cap for that. It fit, but didn't appear to be vented, so I was wary of using it. I found this one on ebay, it fits fine and so far so good....... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I'll check my '68 GTX to see if the cap will fit and if it is vented. People seem to have listings on those cars....'71 Challengers must be extinct to most auto parts suppliers.
