Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 22 to Schedule 13D on the Common Stock of
Standard Motor Products, Inc. (the "Issuer") is being filed on behalf of the
undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D, as amended (the "Schedule 13D") which
was originally filed on June 7, 1994. Unless otherwise indicated, all
capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same
meanings as set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mario
Gabelli") and various entities which he directly or indirectly controls or for
which he acts as chief investment officer. These entities, except for Lynch
Corporation ("Lynch") and Lynch Interactive Corporation ("Interactive"),
engage in various aspects of the securities business, primarily as investment
adviser to various institutional and individual clients, including registered
investment companies and pension plans, and as general partner of various
private investment partnerships. Certain of these entities may also make
investments for their own accounts.
The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficially more
than 5% of a class of a particular issuer. Although several of the foregoing
persons are treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting their
beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who
do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1% threshold presented
for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their investment philosophy may
from time to time require action which could be viewed as not completely
passive. In order to avoid any question as to whether their beneficial
ownership is being reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater
investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons have
decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed
Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to
provide more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.
(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one or more of
the following persons: Gabelli Group Capital Partners, Inc. ("Gabelli
Partners"), Gabelli Asset Management Inc. ("GBL"), Gabelli Funds, LLC ("Gabelli
Funds"), GAMCO Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO"), Gabelli Advisers, Inc. ("Gabelli
Advisers"), Gabelli Securities, Inc. ("GSI"), Gabelli & Company, Inc. ("Gabelli
& Company"), Gabelli & Company, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan"), MJG
Associates, Inc. ("MJG Associates"), Gabelli Foundation, Inc. ("Foundation"),
Mario Gabelli, Lynch, and Interactive. Those of the foregoing persons signing
this Schedule 13D are hereafter referred to as the "Reporting Persons".

For information required by instruction C to Schedule 13D with
respect to the executive officers and directors of the foregoing entities and
other related persons (collectively, "Covered Persons"), reference is made to
Schedule I annexed hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
(f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:
GAMCO submitted to the Issuer a shareholder proposal regarding the
Issuer's "poison pill". GAMCO's proposal for inclusion in the proxy and proxy
statement for the Issuer's next annual meeting of stockholders urges the
Issuer's Board of Directors to redeem the rights issued pursuant to its rights
agreement, commonly known as a "poison pill", unless the issuance is approved
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares at a meeting of
the shareholders held as soon as practical. GAMCO, consistent with applicable
laws and regulations, may discuss its proposal with a limited number of
institutional shareholders and others.
Item 5. Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
Item 5 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:
(a) The aggregate number and percentage of Securities to which this
Schedule 13D relates is 2,634,063 shares, representing 13.06% of the 20,168,991
shares outstanding. This latter number of shares is arrived at by adding the
number of shares reported in the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2004 (19,781,728 shares) to the number of shares which
would be receivable by the Reporting Persons if they were to convert all of the
Issuer's 6 _% Convertible Subordinated Debentures held by them into the Common
Stock of the Issuer (387,263 shares). However, at current market prices it
would be uneconomic for any person to convert any of the such Convertible
Subordinated Debentures and that substantially all such Convertible
Subordinated Debentures and not just those held by the Reporting Persons would
be converted if it became economic to do so. Accordingly, the Reporting
Persons believe that the percentage of beneficial ownership attributable to
them under the rules of the SEC are artificially high and that a more realistic
percentage of their aggregate economic interest, which does not take into
account the conversion of such Convertible Subordinated Debentures, would be
11.36%.

Mario Gabelli is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the
Securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons. GSI is deemed
to have beneficial ownership of the Securities beneficially owned by Gabelli &
Company. GBL and Gabelli Partners are deemed to have beneficial ownership of
the Securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons other than
Mario Gabelli and the Foundation.
(b) Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons has the sole
power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to dispose or to direct the
disposition of the Securities reported for it, either for its own benefit or
for the benefit of its investment clients or its partners, as the case may be,
except that (i) GAMCO does not have the authority to vote 36,000 of the
reported shares, (ii) Gabelli Funds has sole dispositive and voting power with
respect to the shares of the Issuer held by the Funds so long as the aggregate
voting interest of all joint filers does not exceed 25% of their total voting
interest in the Issuer and, in that event, the Proxy Voting Committee of each
Fund shall respectively vote that Fund's shares, (ii) at any time, the Proxy
Voting Committee of each such Fund may take and exercise in its sole discretion
the entire voting power with respect to the shares held by such fund under
special circumstances such as regulatory considerations, and (iii) the power
of Mario Gabelli, GBL, and Gabelli Partners is indirect with respect to
Securities beneficially owned directly by other Reporting Persons.
(c) Information with respect to all transactions in the Securities
which were effected during the past sixty days or since the most recent filing
on Schedule 13D, whichever is less, by each of the Reporting Persons and
Covered Persons is set forth on Schedule II annexed hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
(e) Not applicable.
