Default Gas Cap seal

It came to my nose's attention at SP that perhaps my Gas Cap doesn't seal as well as it could. This was particular noticable when running through turns 7-8-9. I think the sloshing around exacerbated the problem.

I believe the cap to be original to the car, but I have no way to confirm this.

The car is a 1978 SC. The cap itself threads into the fuel filler neck. Can I still get this style of cap and where? Dealer? Aftermarket? Swap meets? Does the hardened "gasket" at the base remove for replacement? Thoughts, suggestions etc..

Looking forward to the usual flood of advice and info.
