69 fuel tank vent holes

I have a fuel tank on my 69 with a vented gas cap. When I fill the tank up, fuel pours out of the 2 vent holes on the top corner. Question I have is can I simply plug those 2 holes as I am using a vented cap? I have seen some say they use a 3/8' line attaching to a fuel filter and then run a 3/8" line up above the tank, I assume this is zip tied somewhere in the frame?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Those vent holes are each meant to have rubber hose attached to them which points upward and is held to the body by a bracket. There is then a small filter ( with sponge inside ) that plugs into the two pieces of hose.

The vent holes are there which allows you to use a non-vented cap.
