After new fuel pump, new fuel line from pump to carb, a carb adjustment (was way rich), several new vacuum lines and new PCV, I have run the car several times to see if my gas fumes issue is any better. I think... it smells less. It seems to run smoother, that is to say a bit less growl and a smoother idle Honestly hard to tell much difference.

I had a heck of a time getting the fuel line to seal to carb inlet. It wanted to be very tight which made me nervous but not leaking now. Brass fitting that holds filter also also leaked. Got the brass fitting so that it just weeps ever so slightly and only when running. Doesn't even form a drip but I can see a bit of wetness. I don't dare tighten it anymore and moving it might move the fuel line so I'm just gonna leave it for now.
