So I bought a new stock replacement Spectre fuel tank, sender and straps for my project Regal and I am wondering what the best way to vent it without any emission stuff or charcoal canister
 
I don't think they made on for our style cap but a vented gas cap if there are any out there?
Doesn't one of the smaller lines off the sender need to be vented?

Charcoal canister. 😛
If autozone is go be believed, they have them.
 
With the three line sender tget are for the fuel supply, supply return, vent to charcoal canister. With a vented cap the vent line could be capped. On other idea is to somehow vent that line into the carb/throttle body to recover the fumes but it would need a flame arrestor incase of back fires.

i used that works good have no gas smell in garage when it sits either. I mounted mine in front of the tank up high.
That's the way the late 60s/early 70s iron used to do it as well.
 
Sounds hokie but I used a small open element valve cover looking breather for my vent. I put it on the vent line from the sending unit with a few inches of hose so it's not slammed against the trunk floor. Works great for me.

I have seen people drill a small hole in the gas cap before as well...
