more on the 1995 gas cap controversy

So I visited a Napa Auto today, looking for the Stant 10826 fuel tank cap. (which is listed by Stant as the correct gas cap.)
When he got the cap, which was also listed in his computer as the correct cap for the 1995 900, it said in big letters on it "NON VENTED."
On an off chance, I brought in the cap that was already on my vehicle, and he entered the Saab part number on the cap, and it brought up a different cap (unknown Stant part number.) This cap says on it "click 3 times" where the other said non-vented. It also has a little pin prick hole in the center on the bottom of the cap.
As it was evening here in the East, I called up a Saab dealer in Seattle (yeah, I know it's cheating :-) and asked them what comes up. Two caps come up, and he asked me for my VIN. After giving him the VIN, he told me the suggested cap is Saab part number 2830. Examining the two possible gas caps, one of them has the pin prick hole, the other does not, but otherwise they look the same. The one suggested for my car, based on the VIN, was the one *without* the pin prick hole.
With that information, I did indeed buy the Stant 10826 gas cap, as it does not have the pin prick hole.
