How’s it going guys . So I scored an deluxe cap of eBay. But my 70 The has tube is a lil different. Than the 72. It won’t allow it to go in.. I was thinking about grinding it down.. Has anyone with a 70 run into this problem?
Could you post a picture of the cap locking side and of your filler tube? The only problem I ever had was later cars with the unleaded pipe and the 4 ear caps. The deluxe cap came out for the 70 model year. It was what came on my 70 Grabber from the factory.
Here is a good photo of the difference in caps. The longer one is the special California cap. That was a NOS one I sold awhile back.
I went to my friends house yesterday & puller a gas tube off my old 72 & off his grabber. Gonna try & experiment with it right now . I’ll have the pics up shortly
So I tried the tube off the 71 and the 72 no luck. I’m thinking about grinding a lil excess metal off the 70 gas tube. I’m not sure what else to do. I can only assume that the deluxe cap California only one is super hard to find
I have a 70 deluxe California only cap I’d be willing to sell. You can start a conversation with me for more info.
Yes, and the problem is the filler neck. You have an early neck, later cap. You can grind off the ears on the neck (remove it first) a tiny bit at a time till it works. I did that with mine, works fine.
Well I guess I learned something new today, I knew there was a slight difference in the caps as far as vented opposed to unvented and the 4 ear verses the 2 ear and some saying Maverick and having a cable loop but this is a new one on me
