Lee,
The '68 owner's manual recommends a non-vented cap for all Firebird
applications, so the pressure being released should be expected. I
didn't get that pressure build-up with my old locking cap, but I do with
the new one. Vented caps release the pressure once it increases beyond
some predetermined level.

I have a regular non-locking cap on my 68 400. I think its non-vented because every time I go to fill up
there is a sudden release of air (gas)pressure when I open it up. Not to ask a "dumb question",
but what type of cap is preferable and what are the issues between "vented" vs.
"non-vented"?
