I also use VR-1. For reference, the Wix 51069 (for my 302) I got at Napa a few months ago is Made In USA, as is the 51061 that fits my truck 350. You may have to check per filter at a parts store to be sure.

no good at napa...they don't carry regular wix filters...all their gold units are china or vietnam

looks like o'reillys has the wix brand...will check it out tomorrow.

I have a few older Napa filters buried in the garage somehere...i'll have to see what they are.

What Wix filter is best for the hi-perf big blocks...again, i like to use the long filter.

thanks,wilma
O’Reilly stocks them.
Sorry for the sideways pic.
