Flush gas cap for 1st gens

**navyflyer72** · 11-23-2004

I saw a while back that someone was working on a flush mounted aluminum gas cap for 67/68 Camaros, any word what progress has been made? If it is still a ways off, are there any other manufacturers out there that make something like that?

I think 'Be Cool' Radiator's makes a gas cap called the 'Cool Cap'. But I could be wrong. And it wouldn't be the first time either. However...I don't think it's flush-mounted.

I hope to have a date today as to when ours will be available.

**navyflyer72** · 11-23-2004

Larry, that is the one I remember seeing. I will be VERY interested in finding out when this will be available.

**Larry Callahan** · 11-23-2004

I called the guy today and found out he is out of town until Monday. I hope to have parts in a matter of weeks.

Larry, sounds good. I look forward to purchasing one of these.

I will be picking up one of those as well Larry. Looks like a teriffic design. Can we get a ballpark price on them, so I can plan on what i'm going to spend on it?

**Larry Callahan** · 11-23-2004

I honestly don't have a clue yet. I would guess between $150 and $200 for a complete kit including cap, hose, clamps, screws, drill bit, and template? I need to figure out if it's cheaper to buy the elbow here in the U.S. or import them from England. When Mike comes back on Monday I should be able to nail down things better.

**MangeMD** · 11-24-2004

I'm in too...

I played with the one at the SEMA dinner. It is a super nice piece.

I have one installed in my 67. I got it from Larry about 2 years ago. I don't know if Larry remembers it. My neighbor did a good job fabricating an aluminum tubing to replace the factory piece. ( He's a pipefitter working on nuke subs in Pearl harbor).
I'll post some pics as soon as I figure how to do it. aloha, Kiko.

I do remember sending you an early prototype. Do you have any problems with fuel collecting in the cap? When you take it off to fill it up does it spill fuel?

**Bulldog455** · 11-25-2004

Larry, for those 1st Gens that are running without a return line and have to use a vented gas cap will the aluminum one work for them or no.

**kiko hawaii** · 11-25-2004

Larry, the car is still on jackstands, I'm still finishing up the interior. I do start up the car once in a while, and I'm going to today as soon as I finished installing the return line for the hydroboost. I didn't notice any fuel spills or fuel collecting in the cap but then again the car is just standing still. I'll try to get some pics today if I have time.
Aloha, Kiko.

Here'a a pic of my gas cap. Aloha, Kiko.

**yody** · 12-04-2004

do you need a vent if you have a return line?

**kiko hawaii** · 12-04-2004

My car is a 67 and carburated, I do'nt have a return line and I don't think I need one.
No it's not vented.

It appears that the cap is slightly smaller the the factory opening on the rear valance panel. Am I seeing this correctly?
