E-1065 should fit. I know it fits in the Pro-Form air cleaner. The e1065
is a stock replacement for a 4.3 tbi S-10. I've seen this one in a '97 and
its a snug fit. Shouldn't be a problem on your '95 though.
It *is* a squish fit on initial assembly. Provides a very airtight seal
though and after awhile the filter will learn its shape. I've pulled the
filter assm. a few times and filter and lid just drop right in now.
