Also, is the tallest tube on the sending unit (and coming out thru the bottom) supposed to be an OPEN air vent? Thanks.

Dave,
Here is a link to a helpful site:

You can also pickup the 32 Service Bulletin at any repro vendor, ie LeBonney Baron, Mac's, Dennis Carpenter, C&G, etc... The service bulletin covers the fuel gauge and related system in detail.
To your last question, yes, it needs to be open.
Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!
