Wasn't the 67 that we looked at a few years back and came up with allot of originals with two styles of caps used originally and in a specific pattern. Forgive me if that was a different year.
Referring to the fill caps not the valve caps

I believe you are right and it looks like "OCD me" (from my younger years) switched them to 'match' so perhaps we can revisit this here again or if somebody stumbles onto the other thread, link it to this one.
I have also uploaded some pictures of my compressor and Hardware. It is possible some or all of this is incorrect for my November 2nd 66 built San Jose example. Before understanding date codes for example, I may have swapped this compressor out somewhere in the vehicle's life.

My research shows two different sets of service valves were used 1967-68. Not sure if they are York or Tecumseh related?
Service caps can be either brass or aluminum. *I matched mine to Richard's example.
I also am showing a picture of two styles of service valve caps, note that one has distinctly wider (taller?) knurling stamped into it.

I have not seen that style clutch if of the eletro magnet variety painted completely black before when NOS or on survivor cars . I have typically seen them plated silver with black rivets or also sometimes with some of the other features inside the inner center face blacked out but not completely black. I have seen them after being rebuilt paint all black rather then plated silver . If the clutch is of the brush variety I have only seen them as black.

Thank you. Details like these are the toughest to duplicate. I have a Ford service replacement clutch that is also all black & assumed this was correct. It may be a remanufactured replacement. If anyone has pictures of these details, much appreciated.
FWIW, small block clutch details differ than big block clutches but I have not been able to pin down all of the differences yet. Too many restored & serviced cars, too few true survivors.
