I think that you will have better luck finding a nice or NOS painted Autolite cap and having it chrome plated. Best of luck with your search.

Hi Bob, so this form came painted? I got some BB ones but didn't know SB ones. Do you know what you would find them on? Thanks.

Yep ,the chrome ones are in the minority. Probably many 351W 2v and 4V applications would be good sources for Autolite marked ones. FYI the same style cap was used on 65-69 or 70 small blocks but with different trademarks. I mainly have found them it boxes of breather caps at swap meets or on Ebay.
