Fitment notes
Confirm the application for your selected part before ordering. The GMA42AB supplier description lists 1968–1977 in its opening paragraph but 1968–1972 in its direct-fitment notes; that range requires confirmation. For an Oldsmobile 442 requiring a 28-inch core, the black-version descriptions direct buyers to GMA43AB instead.
Legacy part number listed for both polished versions: RPE44L.
Warranty: Limited Lifetime Warranty.
