Yes, but you need to still be using the charcoal return canister under the hood for it to work that way. If the fuel return has been eliminated, you need a vented cap.
Do you have your car back ??
Aren't you supposed to be in Duluth ??

I believe on the '69 (non El Camino) cars that there is a fuel vent surge on top of the tank and you are supposed to use a non vented cap. Am I correct?

I thought only the 70+ cars had the canister under the hood, I certainly don't, whether that was factory or eliminated later I don't know. I do believe there is a return line off the fuel pump.?
Car is not back. Engine is torn down, waiting for the next move.
Not in Duluth. Lived there for four years, I don't know why anybody would want to vacation there. JMO.

You're right, I was thinking wrong....the '69's didn't have the canister. I believe the 69's were vented cap. I know the 70's were.
Did Wheeler find anything wrong with internal parts, or just oblong cylinders.

I was wondering about the results Wheeler found as well.

69s had a non-vented cap.
The vent looks like this:
The picture shows it upside-down, but the 2 lines connect w/ hoses to the steel vent lines coming out of the top of the tank on the right side toward the front. It is tucked up behind the rear axle with the other end pointing up.

Final results are not in yet. I will post what I can when I can. Still dealing with GM on this and have to use some caution.
