Thanks JW,
I was able to get the cap from NAPA, and a 7# was all they had with the longer neck, so its on the car and haven't had a hot moment yet. Though today its been about 40 degrees outside. So cant really say until this weekend when the temp picks up a little.

I replaced the rusted plugs today with new ones. The old ones were AC45 plugs and the new are the 308's. The old plugs were working fine just a LOT of rust on the threads and the socket connect and im not sure they were sealing good. Im running 7mm wires and am sure they are resister wires, so am trying to find some good solid core wires out there. This resister wire seems to be making the engine run a little rough.
Any suggestions on the best wire set to put in? Outside of ordering from Hal at Classic motors im not having any luck finding any local supply.

Also My Key broke off in the trunk lid... I have another key, but half of the old one is in the lock, and she is locked closed... Any tricks out there? My next try is to send my son into the trunk thru the back seat and unbolt the lock catch... and go from there...
