Here are pictures of the cap I have. These are the ones that Dwight sells. You can see the vent hole right in the center of the cap. My car had no cap when I got it....just a shop rag stuffed in the fuel filler.
The reproduction tank is slightly different than original. The fuel filler on the repro doesn't have the height or the angles that the original does. My tank came from Auto City Classics. Not sure if the Kanter ones are different.
I solved all my problems by cutting a soda can in half and putting it over the fuel filler and cap. No more gas down my fender.
My fuel gauge continues to act up, giving me confusing readings. On a completely full tank now it shows 3/4 full. It will slowly fluctuate between that and 1/2 depending on the mood of the sender. It's not a fast change....very slow. The gauge does work, and goes all the way to full when grounded (carefully). I still think my problem is the brand new sender or the wire that connects to it.
