Default 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.

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.
