My 69 convertible will make a whoosh when I stop for fuel, obviously not a vented cap. My other birds have the vent like on the tank. Car runs fine but when I park it for more than a day or two it won’t start have to crank the hell out of it til fuel gets up in the bowl car gets 21 MPG wonder how much that’ll change when I put a vented cap on it . Lol.

I’ve driven it on 5 hr trips before so it’s gotta be getting air somewhere or it wouldnt keep flowing fuel ti keep running.
