Gas sender vent question

[DavidG]

Sheldon,


When you state that the vented and non-vented caps interchange, please elaborate as using a vented cap on a '32-'34 vehicle with an in-cab tank with an in-cab filler opening is downright dangerous, even if you like gasoline fumes.

David, When I replaced the 35 hydrostatic sending unit (in a 35 I once owned)with a Drake 36 and later electric sending unit I used a 36 vented gas cap. I also replaced the dash unit with a 36 electric unit. The OP replaced (or it had already been replaced)the 34 hydrostatic sender with a Drake electric so the car has had the orig gauge replaced or modified?.Terry brought to my attention of the fact that a vent had been adapted to the Drake sender which I overlooked.
