Does anybody have the correct number for the gas cap for NCRS judging?
I think mine had a locking cap as the keys are here but has been replaced. Not sure if this one is correct? Thanks so much |

I believe the OEM gas caps were non-locking. They are also date coded if you are doing the NCRS process. Date code is embossed on the underside of the cap and is normally checked by the judges.

Correct, mine got hit for being a replacement date for a point or two. No biggie.

OK guys.
You have me all worried now about having the correct date on my gas cap!! Where is the date exactly? Mine has numbers 2(space)269 on the bottom side of the threaded part. Does this tell us anything?? ![]() ![]() ![]()

From a judging perspective (since yourcar is a MY 1990) the most I can see you could lose is 20% of the originality points assocated with the cap, due to the cap having the wrong date code. Condition points could also be taken if the cap is damaged or aged (discolored). Sorry for being long winded.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the thorough explanation.
My cap does look exactly like the one in the pic. Looks like I will be putting a correct date coded fuel cap on my list of things to keep an eye out for. Thanks again, ![]()

Kenny,
Don't let the gas cap stop you as long as it looks correct, then it is a GM replacement part. Small deduct but nothing huge. Joel

Thanks for all the info...but.....
My 93ZR1 has 8,000 miles on her and the original owner was anal about his Z, keeping everything from the key punch-outs and every document that came the car. He had two gas cap keys for locking cap, the window sticker has "Delco locking ll" Am wondering of that was an option? I would appreciate any technical information if this was an option. The NCRS Judging manual says absolutely nothing about a locking cap, only that it is peaked and "Caution Remove slowly as spray may cause injury". The locking cap has no date, red center and made in USA Thanks....another Z mystery? |
