67 GT350 Radiator Cap
« on: May 28, 2018, 01:15:14 PM »
This thread had me search for my radiator cap. Still can't find it.

It featured a close up of the radiator cap from an early Shelby:


Is the all chrome, "dress up" cap correct for all GT350s?

Chrome is most correct. Some came through with the zinc plated caps which most likely was a mistake or a supply issue.

FYI yours should have Autolite given your completion date

I've seen the repops and was impressed with their price -- and they look good.

I haven't reached the bottom of my stored parts yet.
