Note on Stock Photos: Due to our inventory of multiple identical units for this specific part number, we utilize representative stock photos for this listing. You will receive a component that strictly meets all listed specifications and fitment requirements.

A Note on Fitment Accuracy: We manually research and cross-reference our fitment data using vintage manufacturer catalogs. While we strive for 100% accuracy, these decades-old resources—and the humans reading them—can occasionally contain errors.
