It's around $15 or $20 from the dealer.
You can also get them from Napa
Does anyone know the part number for the vented cap at NAPA?
I got one for mine at the toy dealer but it had a filler plug in the vent I had to remove. I guess that's so it will work on later years?

I tried NAPA and the oldest they can get is for a 76 FJ40. I got a new one from CCOT for about 15 or 20 bucks which looks just like the original.

Just FYI, I got this ^^^ part from Napa and it fits my '73 perfectly, along with solving my extreme pressure problem.

even better, it was $6.17 with tax.
Ok, gotta ask... Do you need a vented cap? I don't have any vapor leaks in my 73 and a non vented cap. I get a little pressure build when heading up to the mountains, but always top off before the trail and I just get a little whoosh of air and have never had fuel delivery issues.

Yup, I need one. The pressure was really bad everytime I would take the cap off. One time, it spit fuel all over me.
My tank is a 25 gallon custom made jobby that is mounted under the truck.
Also, it would vapor lock and run like s***.
The cap solved all that...even idles better...weird.

Love that trail...
