If I remember correctly, I ended up buying one from my FLAPS. I have a door on
mine so no one can see it anyway.

So, do any of you parts hoarders have a vented split bus gas cap I can buy?

I had the same thing happen. Bought an aftermarket cap that would
not vent and the fuel pump actually sucked in the sides of the
tank. It would run for about 20-30 min then die. I did the same
thing, drilled a hole with the smallest drill bit I could find and
the problem went away. The caps looked the same, but apparently did
not work the same.

Those caps are the same (59 & 66) but are you sure it is non-vented James? The
caps vent around the edge where the jagged style crinkles are just outside of
the gasket. A truly non-vented cap will not work. There is no other provision
for venting the Type II gas tank on the splits.
