The rubber gasket on my oil cap is hard and broken in 2 spots and leaking oil down my valve cover. Where can i get a replacement gasket or cap?

Well the caps are cheap to replace. But you can use a inner tube and cut one out.
Caps are at any parts store.
Buy cheap cap.
Take washer off
Put it on your cap.
Works for gas caps too

Being an old engine, i didnt figure it would be at the parts houses. Thanks for the heads up everyone! Speaking of gas caps, the one on my car is in good shape and the rubber seal on it is also good, but the cap fits really loose..loose enough water could get down the fill tube. I have to tighten it all the way and then back it off a hair for it to be tight. If tighten it all the way, its loose. this is a '72 dart, like i said, the cap is in good shape and all and so is the fill tube. not sure why its like this. Anyone else ever see this?
May be the wrong cap?

Thank you man!! Looking at the picture that Halifaxhops posted, post #5, it looks like i may have a 1973-74 cap on min. I see the correct one for my '72 has a shallower center and the one on my car looks taller like that '72-74..I bet its got the later cap on it. Thanks for that post!!
It's a 710 cap....
U got the wrong year cap. Kim
