Re: Original AC A212CW Air Filter
 

"Charlie certainly has some great cars that could serve as examples. Charlie, is the air filter element on the car described in the above post absolutely known to be an original, or better yet, THE one that came attached on that car from the assembly plant? If so, how is that known?"

Norman stated to me that the only thing he did was remove the battery. It also looks like someone replaced one hose clamp but this car is very very untouched. I had to remove the air cleaner and pry the stuck lid off. It has never had the oil or filter changed. There is no way he would change the element after 1100 miles. He will be in Chicago when I have the car there in November. Great guy to talk to . When you talk to him and see th car up close you will have no doubts.

Charley,
Without going back through all the photos you've posted (and again, THANK YOU! ), can you tell me if the oil filter is printed (AC logo), and if so, is it in Red and Blue or just in Black? I remember a shot of the side and bottom showing the bottom embossing but I don't think it shows any logo imprint.
