It does not. Those didn't appear until 1969 and to my knowledge no state requires retrofitting them to earlier cars for emissions compliance.

If you're getting gasoline odor you have a leak somewhere.

If you're simply interested in recovering the fumes for reburn, get a complete canister system from a 70s GM car. It will require plumbing a tank to canister line, a NON-VENTED gas cap (with the canister, tank vents thru it), and a suitable mounting location. Filters are readily available.

Up front, I don't know how a 4GC carb will react to a closed vent system, or where you could even connect the carb vent to canister. Most 62s don't even have a fuel return line on their sending unit, so you'd have to do a makeshift canister connection at the tank end.
