It's a 1965, but the 390 is a 2 bbl engine out of (as far as I can tell) a '67 Mercury. I'm guessing a full size car like maybe a Marquis or something. The cap is different than your pic. It has both power and ground wire connections, The ground goes to the temp sensor (from the kit) mounted on the engine. The power goes to a spare fuse location in the fuse box.


BTW, I found reproduction oil filler caps that look almost exactly like my original '61 at Macs/Ecklers. They just don't have the Ford logo, and they're not the same color. I'll pick one up. Thanks.
