    The list has been pretty slow lately so here's a picky question I've
    been curious about. I know all 65 and most 66 GT350's came with the
    "California" breather with the oval FoMoCo stamp on the top. I have
    seen a few late 66's with a rectangular FoMoCo stamp. There is a
    current repop with the rectangular stamp but I don't think it has the
    spot weld "dimples" like originals have. To my knowledge there isn't a
    repop with the oval script.

    Any 66 owners out there with original caps that have the rectangular
    FoMoCo stamp? I'm trying to figure out if these were original on 66's
    and if so about where in the production sequence they showed up.

    Thanks,

    When I bought my 66, it had a chrome breather with the rectangular "FoMoCo",
    but no tube for the breather hose. Then I realized that the car had a
    Paxton early in it's life. It may even have been added at Shelby, when the
    car was new, but I have no proof...........Yet. To throw a wrench in to the
    works (so to speak), is this the correct breather cap for cars that were
    optioned with the Paxton supercharger?

    Looking forward to your comments and suggestions.
