Default oil cap doesnt fit aftermarket valve cover...

hey guys i just bought this car with a fully built 306. it has some unknown chrome valve covers and the oil cap doesnt thread in all the way. seems like it goes 1 thread deep and then just spins aroudn there... doesnt go any farther in. its leaking lots of oil and im not sure how to go about finding one that will fit. i have no idea what valve covers they are... maybe someone here can help me.

that's because it uses a push in style cap..why in the world would you use cheap chrome V/C and they tend to leak
