I am looking for a good reproduction or NOS radiator cap for a 68 Roadrunner with a 383, 22 inch radiator. Any pictures that anyone would have of what it should look like would be greatly appreciated as I am not exactly sure what the original looked like!

Nah, get it from Bob at Glenn Ray Radiators, we remade them for him to be 100% correct unlike the AMK. Call him, he knows all the available caps and all the differences intimately.

I checked Bob's site & did not see them listed or mentioned, so I did not know he had them.

I'll bet the cap on this radiator is an original. Other than the one we did for Bob, none of them had the correct bump out at both ears on the first ledge. One of the caps clocks to far because the locking tangs are not wide enough and another has a spring that doesn't open until 22 lbs or more of pressure which is not good for an old style radiator.

Bob may not be advertising them separately because he needs them for his radiators, if you need one, I might have a couple to spare.

Looks like the one Dales Cuda Shop makes

They aren't the same!Bob had them made for him because of the poor quality of the existing repops.

You are correct Brian, we did those for Bob last year for the radiators he makes.
