You need to buy the correct one. The forum vendors sell them here or go to a local parts store . http://willcoxcorvette.com/product_i...oducts_id=5361

It is important to have a volume of air available above the fluid surface in your power steering reservoir. So that is good information to try and purchase the correct capstick from one of the Corvette suppliers. The capstick will have a HOT and COLD mark on the stick.
It is very important to try and eliminate as much air as possible from within your power steering system BEFORE starting your engine. Here is a paper on "Getting The Air Out" of a recently serviced power steering system. You want to continue to add fluid into the reservoir as air works its way out of the system and the fluid level drops.

Good luck,

PS It is always good to provide a hint in your thread title as to your area of your Help question. I typically just skip over threads that do not provide hints as to Steering, etc. I just don't have enough time to look at all of them.
