I have a good relationship with my NAPA dealer, and last year I had him
order me 3 cases of Corvair NAPA filters, which are made by WIX, he got me a
fairly good case cost. I also believe they are the best on the market.
You can check with our vendors as well to see about a case cost.

lazy shopper, so I'm undecided whether to buy a case of filters from our
vendors or buy either Cal's or Lon's adapters and use modern filters.

I appreciate any input from out there in Corvairland!  :)  -ron 65,66
