Gas sender vent question

[soonersace]

I have a 34 ford that has a 36 ford fuel sender that goes to a more traditional gauge.

I’m sure the sender is dead- I took the gauge to the back and wired direct with proper ground- no dice. Wired the new sender and played with the float level and yup it works.

My question- the original sender has an air vent. The replacement does not. Do I need the vent? Was the vent added?

I ordered the same part number from
Bob Drake.

Do I replace my current plate with the vent with the new sender plate?

Thank you in advance.
