I have had good luck with delco caps. Although they maybe made in Canada or Mexico. If that's your only parts purchase you can lookup the part number on RockAuto.com and enter it into eBay. I would guess you would be in the $12-15 range.
The last good one i had was a Delco cap.Way back when they didnt have the decal & the info was stamped on the metal cap.Ive seen the newer ones, but yet to try them.
If you are not looking for OEM and want an easy cap to take off and put on, I suggest this brand. I always have a difficult time with the original caps, nothing to grip.
To take off, lift the handle and it turns very easy.

Doesnt need to be OEM, i tried that type years ago, worked well, but i always use to catch the lever when working on the eng.Finally swapped it, fearing i would pull it off while hot.
It is kinda funny how many different car companies try to get some form of "motor" in their name , another being Plymouth's "Mopar" (which I always took as a mishmash of "MOtor" and "PARts" although I'll bet Chrysler/Plymouth had a different take on the name) .
Back in the early '70's there was a bunch of counterfeit Ford parts that were put into what was supposed to resemble their red streaked GT-40 Motorcraft boxes.
The counterfeit boxes had a red streaked 1/4 front view of what looked like a stationery '53 Corvette with the word "Motorcar" on the box.
I see them occasionally pop up on eBay. Just keep your eyes out and be prepared to pay more than any other radiator cap that is readily available for our cars.
I have the Delco service replacement cap on my TA now and it totally works well. I just am all about the details and I like how the car looked when it was new so I try to keep mine as authentic as possible.

I just bought this one. Very nicely made and strong plastic for the lever, unlike some others.

reading someplace that they make most of the caps/stats for the OEMs.
