Thanks for the added feedback. As with many things, this is the way the car "came", which as we find out in time was not "correct" (re: the glass filter). First order of business is to pull that and replace. There's a Fram HPG1 cannister type that Summit sells for $41.95. Would this be a good choice? While I have the fuel lines off, I'll remove the inlet filters for the carb and install the see-thru float sights. As far as the venting is concerned, I have a non-vented cap. Is a "vented" replacement easily attainable or is this another weirdo-Italian size? I would THINK that the tank would HAVE to be vented if the gas cap were not.
