I know Jim Carter and some others sell them but I would like to get one locally to save on the shipping.

It's the right OD but it's too tall to fit in the stock air filter housing. NAPA sells the same thing at half the price (about 1-3/4" tall). I originally bought at NAPA, and I returned it, because I assumed the JC version was a better fit. I don't remember the NAPA part number. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 506 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 506 |

I want a paper because I feel it will do a better job. I mentioned the napa filter looked good for other peoples benifit. Thanks to all who replied. | | |
