Just checked thier website for where to buy but saw this, do you which ones are made in the US?  - "
In early 1981, Baldwin Filters was purchased by J.L. Clark Manufacturing Company. The group later became known as Clarcor. Baldwin Filters continued its steady growth. In Nebraska, manufacturing capacity was expanded and a multi-million dollar technical center was added for research and testing. New facilities were also opened in Europe, Mexico, Australia, China, South Africa and Morocco."

I just did a search for the specific filter I was looking for on various vendor sites. It kept coming up that the 163 part number was US made. Package says made in USA too.

Amazon has them. You might find a local place that carries them too.
