Neither would fit the neck on the right. Yes the pressure vacuum on the right is messed up and junk. It originally fit the filler neck on the right in my photo above.

That one looks like it would fit the filler neck on the right in my photo above, it's the "other" locking filler cap I was talking about. I think there's 2 different rubber seals installed on the same locking cap to fit the 2 different filler necks? And not vented says to me that it was 1970 cap without N-95.

That way you don't smell gas in your garage or anywhere else. See the pics, I don't think I get pressure in the gas tank as the tube itself is vented. The small vent tube goes under the car into the brace (don't know the exact word/have another pic to show) CU Thomas 7614630-fillertubevent.jpg (246 downloads)

Took it apart and had a key made. Now that it is put back together it doesn't lock. I don't remember dropping anything or if that is why they sold it. Anyone ever take one of these apart and have some pictures for me to see if I am missing something? Thanks, Bob bobs@glenrayradiators.com

Or are you saying it doesnt lock when your playing with it in your hands ?? It only locks when installed and you have to have the correct cap for either ECS or CAS systems...
