wix 1036 is the same as the napa 1036 which replaces the bigger AC pf52.  This is for the stock threads and not the "biggie" conversion

wix number may be 51036

the easiest way to get a filter for stock threads is to say you have a 94 S-10 4.3 VIN W  (I just happened to notice my Blazer uses the 'long' buick filter).

that way you don't confuse the parts men by giving them the actual part number.  Often it really seems to knock them out of their element.

WIX 51258  if you have the biggie adapter.
