Are you looking for the A85C for the gs models? Cars in  NJ had them AF636 is the part #
They were around $30 They also had ones for the dual quads and I believe the Skylarks with 300’s

yes this is for a 65 skylark gs 401 carter afb 3921s... the cars inc website doesn't have a photo so I am hesitant to order one because some parts from cars inc I ordered in the past were wrong

Re: air filter replacement UPDATE on WIX 42092 / Napa 2092

I did some more research on this topic. I contacted WIX directly and can confirm 42092 is NOT discontinued. Rather, it is on backorder. No current ETA.

I recommend checking with your local NAPA retailer for air filter 2092. My local NAPA warehouse had a few, so I picked up 2 for myself just in case.

Hope that info helps everyone.

      I was on the phone with the NAPA stores in all Four counties on Long Island yesterday afternoon and no 2092s were found, so I will try again when April rolls around.

And I was told May. So looks like these are not discontinued. Fingers crossed.
