Default '70 Stingray Gas cap

Two questions I hope someone can give me insight on:

1, When try to find gas cap for '70 I get a cap with 1 7/8 inner diameter. The one I need has a 3". Found few places online that show picture of "like" cap though does not have dimentions. Have I missed something?

2, Looking for a fan shroud for same. Bottom half is missing from one present and she is overheating. Having hard time finding listing for 350 W/AT and AC. Are they the same as MT/AC? Also where is best place to find these parts? I'm sure these won't be the last purchases for parts and would love insight on reputable dealer. We are not wealthy though love this work of art.

I think this is the gas cap you are looking for.

That's a "Willcox Corvette" website address. They have them...so does about every other Corvette parts vendor. Suggestion: You can't buy legitimate Corvette parts at your local parts store. You might find some Chevy parts (or replacements for them) at the local store, but nothing for Corvette only.

Default Cap and shroud

Have realized that fact now. Sucks through seems appropriate.
