Embossed AC212CW Air Filter Element Age
 

Hey Guys,


I recently came across this old AC212CW air filter element. It has the early "Best Way to Protect Your Engine" printed lettering and "AC Spark Plug A212CW" embossed in the rubber. I thought his was the 1968 style but it has the diagonal wire mesh as shown. Can anyone tell me the years this was made/used.


Thanks,

Jason

No answer for years used but if selling, Jim’s seeking one for his ‘69 9561 car as last post of this thread…

For those curious, I confirmed with a very reliable source that this is 1969-early 70 correct.

Nice! Good info.

This element came out of a flat bottom cowl induction air cleaner. The flat bottom version was used from Dec of 68 to late spring/ early summer of 69.

Yes - that’s the one that I have on the Pace Car Steve. I thought that the soldered square mesh wires (rotated 90 degrees) lasted through the 69 model year. The latest 69 Camaro that I’ve ever owned was 05E though.

Steve, I have the same air filter with the same raised lettering, that will work for a 67 also. Mine has a fairly dirty element, and I wish there was someway to clean or replace it.

I have seen that filter on an original low milage 1966 Corvette.

Well its perfect for my survivor 67 l78 Camaro. My previous research dated as 68 and 69. Well it will be installed on that car now!

In my post I was only stating when flat bottom cowl was in production not the element. The new information helps me if it was used in 67!
