No, but in case you care, AC Delco also makes them, and their part
number is: ACDelco Part # PF2192.
For Fram, they seem to have several, depending upon whether it's a
DOHC or a SOHC setup. For DOHC/6cyl:
EXTRA GUARD PH3593A
TOUGH GUARD TG3593A
DOUBLE GUARD DG3593A
X2 XG3593A
:)

As has been pointed out more times than is worth counting, this is
more of political issue than a technical one. Once the list is
either moved out of zk3, switched to mailman, or both, this becomes
an excercise left to the list mangler^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hmanager.
Btw, I was thinking about inviting rms up to speak for a quarterly
meeting sometime. However, based on some disute with some other
"Linux" user group, he evidently refuses to speak to Linux user
groups, but has no issue with speaking to GNU/Linux user groups.
You can probably see where I'm going with this :)
If we want to get him up here, we'd have to placate him, at least for
a night. Since we're talking about name changes, any objections to
being called the GNu Hampshire Linux User Group :)
I actually float this both some what tongue-in-cheek and
semi-seriously. I do think it would be cool to get rms up here from
Cambridge, just "cuz we can", since he's local. By the same token,
there are several people within the LUG who are, shall we say, some
what outspoken in their dislike for rms.
What do people think about this. Is anyone interested in having rms
speak? If so, would we be willing to placate him?
Btw, ultimately I don't really care either way, this is just a topic
for discussion.
