I bought the Hastings AF26 from Amazon last month.  I see they are out of stock now and selling the item from Hires Automotive for $25 shipped.  Last month Amazon had them in stock and I bought one for $7.85 with free shipping for orders over $25.  Guess I should have bought two.  Timing is everything!  The piece fits fine and looks to be good quality.

Out of ignorance, doesn't the AC Delco air filter, part number A85C, fit the factory 4 bbl air cleaner?

The AF26 filter fits the dual quad engines. The single four barrel is different. :cheers2:

Amazon.......  Timing is everything! 

I've gotten some killer deals on Amazon!  :glasses9:My strategy is to: select the item, put it into my cart 'to buy later' and check back often. On several occasions I've gotten items at half price. For example, the K&N air filter E-1910 (4 bbl GS) regularly sells for over $60. Price started dropping over a few days, and when it hit $30, I bought it. Within an hour the price was back up to $60.  :icon_biggrin:

This is a very old thread, but thought I would ask a question anyway:  Is the Hastings AF26 air filter  element for the 65 GS single quad, or for the 65 GS dual quad?

The AF26 is for the 2x4.
$23.16 on Amazon..... Amazon tells me I bought one in 2010, what a memory!

I found this crossover made it into a table and thought I would add for folks trying to find a 2x4 air filter.
