Default Air filter element

Anyone know where I can find an air filter element for my 4 barrel (non California emissions) 66 GTO? I want the paper one, not the foam one (tli had a foam one come apart and get sucked into the carburetor). Ames, and everywhere else I've looked is out of stock. I don't want to pay 50 bucks on ebay; anyone have a reasonably priced source?

Thanks,
Importsmasher

The A350c for the Pancake Breather?
If so Napa Gold 2100 is a decent filter.

I couldn't find anyone who had it in stock, in any brand. Maybe I just don't know where to look, but i couldn't find it on ames, autozone, O'Reilly, Napa, or rock auto websites.

That filter is out of stock everywhere. Only option I see right now is and NOS A350C off Ebay for big money. I'm looking for one myself.

Wix & Baldwin make good filters.

I ordered a couple of the WIX elements for my 65 4bbl many months ago from Summit Racing. I'm still waiting for them - I think last time I checked it said expected delivery in July, but I'm not holding my breath.

As a follow up, the site I tried to order from didn't have it either. Bummer!

Not the same filter as yours, but I just tried to buy an air filter for my 2 BBL 67 GTO. I had a similar experience. Local NAPA had none in stock, but there was one in the entire NAPA system, in NY.; as much for shipping as the filter. I got online and bought a few more minor things to get to their free shipping amount and got the one filter available in the country. O'Reilly had none in stock and one in their entire system. I bought that one too. I'm good for a while, especially since I put few miles on the car each year.

Strange times indeed.

I got an email from them saying Wix told them the ETA for delivery is September. So I guess I wait.

Go to their websites and compare dimensions of the available filters. Years ago I found 1 for my truck that would fit when the original was not available.
