That is a cool picture.

I'm going to say four barrel because the fuel line enters at the passenger side rear. I believe a two barrel would be front center?

The tank is not sealed, the overflow tube acts as a vent, but it works. You need a modern rad cap with a rubber seal.

Mine is the same except it comes with 3 different screw in hose barbs for the hose to the radiator.

I bought this one on Amazon. It was around $50. The inlet is at the bottom. There is a second smaller tube that sticks out at the bottom and runs inside up to about an inch from the top and acts as an overflow. If you have the correct rad cap it functions perfectly as a recovery system and...
