63 F85 Cutlass 215V8 fuel delivery Question ??

So... Is there a reason my fuel tank has a non vented gas cap ?
does it need that pressure?
I replaced it with a vented cap and now it kind of runs like crap..
If I hold on the throttle it will stay running , but if I let it idle it will die.
Thanks in advance for any Intel on this issue

The car should have a vented cap. Did you put the old cap back on and see if it still runs like crap?
