This afternoon it was 84 degrees---No smell!

This does seem to work! When I first park the car, you can smell some gas, probably from the carb. But it dissapates and no smell!
Looping the vent hose then installing a fuel filter on the end works for me!

You will get a bit when you first park the car from both the carb and exhaust - a non EFI car, unfortunately has these 'gas leaks'. This is especially true with an aluminum Edelbrock Performer carb, and somewhat worse without a phenolic spacer to shield it from the engine heat. But this system works
