AC Delco A348C Superceded by A348CA

[revrnd]

I went to the dealer to get a new air filter for my 86 Monte Carlo SS (I've had it since new). I had a NAPA filter on it, but realized what they sold me was too tall (lid wouldn't seal). When I gave the dealer parts person the AC PN, they had to look using the vehicle info. They came up w/ GM PN 19363694 (or ACD# A248CA). They didn't have one in stock, but could order it, I said no I was just that particular town due to a family appointment).

Does anyone have an idea what the A suffix means? I don't think I've seen an AC air filter with a 2 character suffix before.

I'd bet the "A" suffix is an AC Delco Advantage part, whereas the A248C is the OEM.

Amazon has the A248C for a little over $12.

6484235 is the current gm part number for an A348C filter. the 19363694 is indeed the silver (economy) option

IDK, but the Super Tech 1595 is made in the US by Champ
