gas tank questions

i am putting a keg in the bed of my 69 to use as my gas tank. My questions are:

1. Can i just use a vented gas cap or do i need to run a vent hose from the top of the tank down below the bed?

2. What size bung do i need to supply fuel to my carb? What is typical, i dont have the engine yet.

Thanks
mark

Re: gas tank questions

You can vent the cap, & it will work fine(did that on a keg on the back of a frame car). As far as line sizing, 3/8" will work on a fairly warm small block, or mild bigblock.....crazyL
