When did Mopar switch from the metal power steering caps to the plastic power steering caps?
Tav
The plastic cap is used with the Saginaw pump which I think appeared in 69.. I thought 68 was the last year of the Federal pump but it appears there was some cross over... FWIW I'm most knowledgable on 70 E body stuff & I've been getting educated on 68 B body since I got my Coronet R/T... Waiting for a 69 guru to show.. Doug? Are ya out there?? 69CoronetRT Hello?

I followed what a guy I know had on a low mileage Daytona, Mine had a little black on it but couldn't be trusted. Here's a shot after the resto... see picture:

If you have the Federal pump,it is bare metal. In this pic of some of my NOS stash,is the p.s. cap I scored.It is on the left...

I agree that the cap you have pictured is supposed to be bare, the style I have is black. Now as to the cap being metal or plastic I'll have to look at it tomorrow... Ron

Original cap off of a 69 coronet with the oval neck pump. St. Louis car with a SPD of 228.
That is a early metal saginaw cap, painted black is also correct for it. Don't know when the saginaw cap went to plastic, but it is also black. So no matter what pump/cap you have black is correct.
