Just became the caretaker of a beautiful 70 cuda and it has a few issues that need to be addressed. For now I'm looking at the fuel tank and lines. The tank has a nipple on the right side near the top that is plugged, the left side toward the front has the sending unit with 2 nipples. One supplies the mechanical fuel pump and the other is plugged. It has a vented fuel cap that will only vent the tank if it is in a state of vacuum. So my concerns are, is that the correct tank? Is there supposed to be a vent that relieves tank pressure? And is there anything else I need to know to get this up to a safe good running industry standard. The car isn't original or numbers matching so I fell like I have some wiggle room to fix any issues. Thanks and HI by the way. I'm new here and just got back into cars now that I'm retired, it's been about 35 years. Yea, kinda rusty..........
