Okay, in that quest for the bang for buck- I took some bitog advice.....
I went to the local AAP, took my Wix filter, and had myself a good look at the AC Delco filter.
The price is nice, only 4.39. Second, indeed it is made by Hengst, and made in the USA.
Comparing the two filters, they are very close. Pleats are nearly the same, with the same plastic on the top and bottom.
The only difference is that the paper is slightly different, but that's it.
So...I'm giving the Delco a shot. My buddy is also trying it on his beater Cavalier.
Looks like a good filter for the money. Still plan to have some Wix/NGs/Partsmaster(wix) on hand......
