When I park my vette it has a strong gas smell that stay in my garage. I have a friend who has a 69 vette and says there is a line somewhere near the carb that might be leaking. Is it possible that the gas cap needs venting, I have a orginal metal one with no breather hole in it. Thanks alot.

Nope, get the system checked as you have an external leak that must be found and repaired.
