Does the vent pipe act as a sight glass for fuel level?
I fitted a modern in filter on the RK saloon with 22FZ carb & it had the same effect of apparently restricting the flow...I tried it vertical & horizontal without improvement. I found a small Wipac glass bowl filter the same as fitted to another car & this solved that problem..It didn't stop the fuel tap getting blocked though, it was totally blocked on one occasion and removing that on my own by the side of the road with a tank full of fuel was interesting, amazing what a head of pressure three or so gallons generates! Stopping the flow while trying to clear the tap was a job that needed more hands than I had available! The FZ was still incontinent on a random basis (usually when stopped at lights!). I have replaced it with a 24T2...excellent choice!
