Some tanks have the vent lines and some have the cap that is vented.

Turns out, mine had neither... but it does now.

Installing a newfangled LS engine has been quite the education for me, Jason, with more schooling on the way I reckon.

Thanks Chip... video below.
Crusty fired up for the first time today. Everything went pretty well all things considered. I have some issues to address but that's to be expected. The temp probe that triggers the electric cooling fans is bad, but Derale is sending out a new one. Neither the tachometer nor the speedometer work, will have to get some tips from Classic Instruments tomorrow. And for some reason the check engine light on the dash is flickering when the engine is running. The MIL light in the relay box doesn't seem to doing that, but it's hard to tell because it's a lot smaller light. HF has a sale on a couple of their Zurich scan tools. May be time to invest in one.
