too mutch pressure in gas tank

When I brought home the 68 it had no gas cap.
I went to pep boys and bought one for a 69.
The list did not include one for a 68.
The tank builds up so mutch pressure that gas seeps through the seals on my new carb. I leave the cap loose to prevent this from happening.
I assume it should have a "vented cap' but dont know where to find one.
I would prefer a new one cause our Smog Testers here in AZ who make up the rules as they go have a tendancy to fail the test due to a "bad" gas cap seal.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

If you drilled a small hole in your gas cap, it would be "vented"..
