Oil Fill Cap???
Anyone know were I can get a factory oil fill cap for and 85? It's the 1/4 turn style. All I've been able to find are the ugly metal one's. I'm assuming they come from the factory with a plastic cap (or a plastic covered).
Or anyone know the GM part Number?
I didn't think this thing would be that hard to find.

Be careful of the replacement original syle ones you can order from mail order places. They may look the same and fit the same, but have the wrong wording printed on the cap. I found out the hard way.

Thanks, that's what I have now. It works but i think it uglier than snot.
I'm not realy concerned about the wording as long as it doesn't say chevy truck or ford on it. If it's got the wrong oil spec on it that's fine with me.

A Stant cap that will fit is a 10115 BUT it has an oil spec of 15W40 on it for a diesel engine. I'm quite sure it could be washed off.

I bought a replacement but the new one has a different orientation than the original. The new one reads "sideways" -- 90° from what the original one reads (the "top" is at 9:00 vs. 12:00 for the original). It's swaged together that way and there is no way to change it.

The OE/GM was 14094763 BUT everyone changes that number to what you have currently and what's been linked to.
