However, I understand what you’re saying about the tank creating a vacuum and not being able to pump fuel. But, if the fuel cap is vented, wouldn’t that allow air to enter the tank when fuel is pumped out?

That's what I meant by "other options".. What you say is very true, but that's not how GM designed it to work.. Has to do with "cleaning up the air (emissions)".. Plus, the carburetor is calibrated to include those vapors in the combustion process...
I'm a retired mechanic having worked in the field for over 30 years. During that time, I received lots of GM (and many other mfgrs.) factory training, and people paid me good money for repairing their vehicles the correct way. I view these things different from your average do-it-yourselfer..
