Just something to be aware of.
GOOD POINT !

The MPC shows service replacement as B9A 9030-C (1955-59). That crosses to a STANT PN which I had but lost (but can look up again if needed). I am sure they took that into consideration.

Same as don't slam the hood until you are sure ...

EDIT -

OK ... The B9A 9030-C is shown below. Completely different from the original filler cap -

Also, FORD 49/59 MPC showing replacement cap. S is the application ID for the BIRD in the chart.
