Okay I'll bite.....just so I know.....I understand how the 46C fuel system works. The header tank overflow will not work well without vented caps in the wings. Just wondering how the Alon does it without vented caps....again, just wondering....

Before doing anything like that I strongly recommend figuring out why
the left wing is now 3" higher.
Also, there is an Alon service bulletin describing modifications to
the fuel system, one of which is to replace the vented caps with non
vented caps, which would prevent the fuel from venting. (These mods
must be done as a package: non-vented caps cannot be used on an
unmodified fuel system!)
