May seem silly, but it may be what happened. Do we know who made the caps? I assume (dangerous phrase I know) that these caps were made by a supplier (as many components/subassemblies were) and shipped to the assembly plant. It doesn't seem crazy to me that there might be more than one facility/supplier that was stamping out caps and that their processes might differ during overlapping time periods. For goodness sakes Camaros of this era were put together completely differently at different assembly plants during the same model year. I'm not saying that's what happened. But as you guys build the evidence here, that may be an explanation that fits.

Another killer thread regardless. Good on ya Pete!
