It should work just fine. Your old cover likely has a newer cap on it instead of the twist on style that looks similar to a radiator cap and has no vents. Don't know offhand just what the 58's used but am pointing out the different types that have been used over the years so they get mixed up. I think the solid non vented ones were used on the draft tube engines with the slotted covers but I may be wrong.
