Correct Radiator Cap for a 72 U code non air

What's the correct radiator cap for a 72 U code Supreme, automatic non-air car? The O'Reilly special on there now bothers me. Also, what is a good source for it? Most reproduction caps look like cheap garbage.

The original cap was P/N 6410427. Replacement is AC P/N RC27.

Ebay is proud of those! Any idea if the newer ones are embossed under the sticker? I have an old one but the rubber is torn. Can the rubber be replaced?

Ebay has no control over the prices sellers ask.

Didn't think I really needed to say ebay sellers, that goes without saying. Bottom line I'm not spending $70 on a radiator cap from a seller on an online auction site.
