what are you guys doing for air filters....cant find one ...not even k&n
-
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

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.

wix has been on back order for a year or so... I contacted wix and never got a response .i did get an order in on a filter company and am awaiting shipment to see if it s correct
-
so I recieved 1 napagold 2092 air filter and it is good...so I ordered 3 more...2 hours later they emailed me and said the filter is on national back order by napa and refunded my money. the company is usafilterstore.com.there's a napa store in the bronx, maybe I'll check them out like dan said.
-
My local Napa said they will be back in stock in April.
-
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.

thanks for the replys
-
My local Napa said they will be back in stock in April.
And I was told May. So looks like these are not discontinued. Fingers crossed.
-
April and may came and went, looks like no more filters

Clearly WIX gave me bad information. WIX 42092 / Napa 2092 is DISCONTINUTED. So what are we going to do for the A85C air filter (with the rubber lip on top)? Anyone found an alternative? This is a Caddy filter too right?
Any info greatly appreciated.

Does Fram still make one? Or Hastings?

There's a good thread on the aaca forum. Skip to page 2/3 where Ed shows a generic 16" x 3" from Amazon.
It fits well, it just doesn't have the top lip to fill the gap on the lid.

The K&N one does not have the lip either.
-
The K&N E-1910 was discontinued in 2021. So the Allstar appears to be the only choice at this time.
There was mention CARS is trying to find a manufacturer for repos.
