Gas Cap for '78

is that the screw in type or the old quarter turn type?

That would be the Screw in type. The FLAPS has a number of similar screw in types, but has no listing for the '78 Avanti. I know that the height of the cap is an issue so the gas door will close. The '78 has the lock that looks like it came from a desk drawer.

Does anyone have a part number for a gas cap to fit a '78 Avanti?

I bought a cap at my local Autozone last October for my '82. I had lost the original as the result of a hasty fill-up, so I had nothing but memory to go on. They let me take home the two caps that I reckoned were closest, and luckily one fit perfectly and did not interfere with the door. According to my receipt that is CST Fuel Cap 6817 (Autozone #004371). The other cap (which I returned) was CST Fuel Cap 6822 (Autozone #009595). Or it could be the other way around, but I'm 90% sure this is correct.
