    I cannot seem to be able to find a locking fuel cap for my 73. Is there a alternative part number that will work for this application? Does anyone know? I see a black plastic one available but I do not want that.

    I would guess this one would work...

    I put a 71-75 rear tank in earlier cj, and I use this one....it seems to be out of stock, but suggests the caps should all fit same from 72 or so up to 90 and the start of fuel injection...there is some discussion of vented vs non-vented. I thought pre-71 was a vented cap, and 72 and after with the the charcoal evaporative canister was non-vented, but seems its a bit all over the place in the description...

    I bought one a couple years ago from NAPA and it looks just like the one from Quadratec.
