    There is no 225 HEI.

    There is only the 231 Odd Fire HEI retrofit for the 225.

    Be sure the one you get is an odd fire, not even fire cap and rotor.

    Default for ordering is a 75 Buick Apollo with a 231 odd-fire motor. That will get you what you need if you are running a odd-fire HEI in a 225 motor.

    Keep a log book of all the modifications you make to your Jeep! Little details, like the one just illustrated, will derail you down the road as it's tough to remember all the stuff you might change.
    If you pull a part from a salvage yard, you might even record that vehicle's VIN. Sometimes it can be helpful when you have to troubleshoot an issue.

    Could probably try doing a search here, or search say NAPA's website for the part number of the cap for a '75 Buick Apollo with a 231. ;)
