Re: 63 Gas Cap question
My original (19,xxx) has a thick paper type gasket. I don't use it anymore due to the single vent hole design (when using ethanol laced fuel), rather for every day I use the later design with the two way valve (vacuum/pressure) that is still available as a service replacement, or my locking cap for mixed car shows.

Re: 63 Gas Cap question
FYI. My experience is that the LI gasket (I don't know about Paragon's) is ~9/32" wide and fills up the entire groove of the gas cap while the original gaskets were ~7/32" - 8/32" wide and did not completely fill the groove of the gas cap. Picky, picky, picky but that's what separates a "reproduction" from the "real deal" or an "exact reproduction." You don't gotta go the extra 1/32". You gotta love this hobby. Pete- Top
