   Darn, I don't see the 9793 in the catalog I downloaded. :-P
There's an element for the 9793 listed, but not the 9793 itself.
The ones that I saw which looked like they might work are 1480 and
6485. (Air cleaner and Hi-performance air cleaner) The Hi-performance
one looks to be the 1480 with the words "High Performance" engraved in
the top. They both had 2" elements. How long ago did you get yours?
I wonder if they've changed part numbers, or if I just got a stupid
catalog...
