Gas Cap Replacement
Went to buy a new gas cap for my 81 and was given a choice of
"Vented" or "Pre Vented".
I didn't buy either.
Anyone know which one I need or does it really not make any difference.
Thanks

Just to add to the discussion, does anyone know for sure, does it matter if the cap is vented? What I mean is if the car originally had a non-vented cap, would it matter if it had a vented cap? My car is non-vented right now and I am thinking it should be vented. Can a non-vented cap be made vented correctly, non bubba?

At the risk of being called bubba (again), I had a pressure problem and the vented replacement cap didn't help, so I drilled a very, very VERY small hole down thru the center of the cap and all is well now...others here will call it bubba...."find the problem, not a bandaid"...I feel it is a fixed problem....just my 2 cents
