They must have replaced your non-vented opti-spark with a vented opti-spark.
I believe 93's & 94's came with non-vented and the 94's came with vented.
That little hole that is drilled in that bottem of your elbow should have a vacuum line leading down to the opti.

The hole for the opti vent line is in the top, not the bottom.

If the 94 comes with a non-vented opty... does the Elbow still have a hole in the top or anywhere?


just curios

Nope, the hole is only in the bellows that came on the vented opti cars. It's a small hole on the top.
