That NAPA filter is made by Wix. the Wix number is 57011 and cost $17
from my local Oreilly's Also a Baldwin T-300M is the interchange. That
filter was used on nearly all the Wisconsin engines I used to work
on... I would think any full flow wound cotton filter could be adapted
to fit..
I have ordered a lot of filters from the USA filter store
www.usafilterstore.com. It is only $9.04 from them for the 57011 Wix.
I usually order filters by the case to reduce shipping cost...
