Pure One worked very nicely for me on my '92...tried it after several here said they used them.

Purolator Premium Plus are pretty good too. A bit cheaper than the Pure Ones but still a good filter with a lot of filter area. They are available at Sears.

I used Wix as well. Reduced the valve noise. I'd suggest hefting a few different ones - in some cases you can actually feel a weight difference... I equate heavier with better... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />
