This is a non vented like I would need correct? I'm checking a few other things yet too... I know it has a intake oil leak, maybe low on gas, and a few more things.... it has sat for a while and moisture may have got to it... only 50k miles.. didn't expect this yet!!!

DO NOT buy an Autozone opti......it's a rebuilt piece of ****. get a real genuine GM part and it will last you.

Do Not Buy the A-1 opti, I did and it crapped out in like a few thousand miles it not worth it... I returned it and got my money back and bought a GM opti and had no problem ever since...

Well, dumb as this sounds... I was out of gas! It was reading an 1/8 of a tank, but apparently thats E on my car. I never even drove it on the road, so I had no idea what to expect... I finally got the title, so all is well, I can finally get it on the road!

GM opti's do not come with a lifetime warranty on them, like Autozone does on there's. I buy from O'reilly's and I think the are around 140.00 with a lifetime warranty so you never have to purchase another, just replace it. I'm all for buying GM, but when you can get something with a lifetime warranty why pass it up. O'reilly's can also get the whole kit as one for the price. My brother is a manager at one and he orders them all the time and they come as a complete kit.

I just ordered an Opti for a 94 today from Jason Cromer, $280 with 1 year warranty. Auto Zone wants $300 plus $90 core charge for rebuilt. You do get the lifetime warranty but I'll take my chances with the new one from GM, If it craps out I would consider the Autozone One.

You also misspelled "you" [u], didn't capitalize and did not punctuate.
