I have been using a Bob Drake locking gas cap on my stock/original '35 fordor sedan for years and it works well. Since the tank is vented on top at the hydrostatic sending unit, I wasn't concerned whether the cap was vented or not. I'll check to see if it's vented or not the next time I get gas.
With the location of the '36 gas tank vent tube coming up to the top of the filler neck, it seems to me that a vented cap would be needed, but maybe I am missing the basics here.
