There are some repops out there also. Some say they leak but the one I have works fine so far. Gasket seals well and the fittings don't leak. So my thoughts are there might be a few different places that made them? Or quality was hit or miss. The originals I understand were made for Ford by Holley. Same or similar one was used on a early Vette. I've been seeing the repops go for about $100 and the OEM $200-300. I think mine was $65 years back I bought from a forum member here. It looks like stainless and polished out nicely with some dremel time.
If someone were to make a nicely done stainless repop or possibly a nice CNC billet (hint!) one they'd do pretty well with orders I'd think. Ford did these as mentioned in both chrome and plain painted black finish. The repops wre just bare natural finish. They are somewhat hard to find too. Most vendors don't seem to stock them on a regular basis.
