Jim78 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 Does anyone have a number for the screw in type gas cap used on a '78? I would guess that they are available at the FLAPS, if I know the Stant number.
Gunslinger Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 From Bob Johnstone's Avanti website it's reported that O'Reilly MCS6817, which is same as Stant #6817, NAPA BK 7031231, and AutoZone #6817 will all interchange. It's supposedly the same as a '75 Camaro. I'm not saying this is take to the bank, death and taxes certain, but the contributor who provided the info stated it fit perfectly and no problems.
Jim78 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Posted June 25, 2013 Thanks, Bruce. That will give me a start. I'll take my old cap along to check the match. I've found that going into most FLAPS and asking for a Stant #6817 will befuddle the kid behind the counter. They need a make and model to punch into the computer. I'll try the '75 Camaro approach.
Jim78 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Posted June 25, 2013 The Stant #6817 is a good number. I bought one today after convincing the kid that there really is an Avanti listed on his computer. Of course, the computer didn't list the cap. The kid disappeared and came back with a pile of gas caps for me to try. Fortunately, the #6817 was among them.
