K&N Fuel Filter question
I want to get a K&N fuel filter for my '89 GTA. I went to the K&N website, ran a search on available products for my vehicle and the only thing that came available were the air and oil filters. Is the fuel filter no longer available, or is it not available for my car ?

I just looked in my Year One catalog, and they are in there, but I'm not sure which it is. the four choices available are 1/4" barbed, 5/16" barbed, -8 AN, or -10 AN. I'm not sure which I require for my '89 so if anyone knows this, please let me know. Thanks.

Yeah, none of those generic ones will work without modification. The stock filter uses those saginaw style fittings with the o-ring at the end.. I'd just replace it with a standard delco filter or something..

Not worth the hassle or money IMO. They cost too much, and you have to leave the fuel line open when cleaning the filter. You're better off with OE replacement.

i change mine once a year or every 25,000 miles, which ever comes first.
