Yep, my plan was to use those on my '67. I may have one other. Those were removed from the 63 Lincoln.

Bob, factory caps are brass? aluminum caps are service? or the other way around?

If the service person dropped and lost them during servicing I've seen factory valves with plastic and other metal type caps installed from time to time. Most of the time the original brass ones are there or the whole valve has been replaced. Here is one example from each year starting from 67 some are from other threads of pictures related to particular cars here. Notice the one domed and one flat head fill caps in the following examples. Appears Richard collected some flat top ones
And a 71 example just to show the similarities and changes. Don't recall if one of the two is steel. Will check
