anybody know anything about B-body (caprice) and opti
alright im positive i need to replace the opti in my car. i have a 94 Caprice Wagon with the LT1. i've owned 3 other LT1 F-bodys but this is my first b-body. so my question is, what opti do i need? i know it is vented on the b-body's, however what drive mechanism is it?
these are links to the 2 different opti's on an f-body...
93-94 non vented:

95-97 vented:

since the b-bodies had vented opti's, does that mean i need the one for a 95-97 or does it use the older drive mechanism but is vented and specific to a b-body. any help is awesome.
