Everything wrong that could be about this filter buyer beware. Sorry if a NCRS member selling them because they are represented as original and these could never have been made by AC Spark Plug. As expected, after one sells for an absurd price, another appears.

Ron, what happened to Richards original molds of the AC 212CW? -
Re: Fresh from China for those chasing Air Filter AC 212cw
Are you sure it is from China? It is listed on eBay as Country of Manufacture: United States. I'm sure this would not be list as such on eBay as to mislead anyone

C2 configuration should be a diagonal biased wire with welds at each wire crossing. Paper should be oiled, data should be molded in, not white ink stamped. This must be for some foreign car..........
Oh yeah, the price must be in kernels of corn.Comment

I ordered an AC replacement filter for my 95 from a Chevy dealer. When it came in, on the side of the filter was printed "Made in China." Obviously I didn't purchase it.Comment

It's not discontinued. It's still available under the original part number of 6421746. However, the configuration is not the same as the original versions. Among other things, the wire mesh on the outside of the filter is expanded metal instead of "soldered wire" style. The eBay filter is "more correct" than the current AC Delco offering but not as-original.In Appreciation of John HinckleyComment

Thanks Joe, I used to use a lot of those filters and never thought twice about them! Sounds like I should have stored the originals years ago when they were about $6-$7 ea~!Comment

You'd have to have gotten them a LONG time ago to have the ones now considered valuable. The expanded metal screen, non-oiled element style filters have been sold for at least the last 30 years.
By the way, you can still buy an AC 212CW for about 7 bucks.In Appreciation of John HinckleyComment
