Now that the 100 degree days are back here in Phoenix and the 68 is running for the first time in years, the coolant loss problem has reared its ugly head again. At least this time I think I know what the problem is. The cap is too short and not sealing. My measurements seem to indicate this is the case. I've heard the 95 and 96 used a shorter cap and thats probably what I have. I was going to go to NAPA with the old one and see if they could match up a longer one but thought I'de check here first if my suspicions might be correct, the 4lb. is correct or if anyone had a part#. If there is no correct cap available I'll probably have a new neck welded on. In the meantime I've tried puting large rubber washers in the bottom of the neck to achieve a seal. I'll know in the next couple of days if this is a temp fix.
