Default Rally fuel cap

I'd like to put the "racing" style fuel cap on my 73. What have you guys found that you like. Thanks for you opinions.

As long as it screws on, those pop top caps has not be approved any more and that was several years ago by the NHRA and other racing associations

Interesting point. I would like to make some quarter mile passes, and road course laps. Maybe for that reason I should stay stock.

mine pops open and you reach inside and unscrew the factory cap. it is more cosmetic but looks great. google " Mustalgia" kinda pricey but good quality. N.H.R.A and I.H.R.A have no issue with it

Thanks, I'll check it out. I had a brain fart. I disposed of the original fuel tank. Did not realize I needed to keep the fitting the factory cap screws onto. Another part to track down.

Default Fuel neck

Made one call to a place here in S Fla. No answer. About $80 for a new piece. I would think a used one would be available. Painful being dumb...
