Original AC A212CW Air Filter

[737Driver]

NOS air filter which does not include box. Very nicely yellowed. This filter, in my opinion, would not be assembly line correct for a vehicle prior to 1974. If it is your intent to have your pre-1974 car seriously judged, I would discourage you from purchasing this filter for that use. Otherwise, it would look great installed and perform as intended.

$60.00 which includes shipping to any paid member of this site.

Thanks,

Thanks,

This is the same filter Charley has posted pics from on his survivor "70 Z28" Why do you say it's not correct for pre 1974???

I'm guessing the generally accepted filter for the '70 and earlier is the square mesh vs. the expanded metal.

You surely seem to be a knowledgeable fellow based on what I've read from your posts, but, I'll respectfully point out you've stated yourself that you are 'guessing'.

Exactly Mark. Not in any way questioning you. It was just a quasi response to Randy's query. No offense intended.

Dennis, I didn't sense any disrespect from you at all. My apologies if it came across that way. I was just quoting you to make a point. Man oh man, it is a never ending job trying to discover all the running changes and really pin them down. I wish I would not have been born such an anal retentive.

Mark...it was not my intention to enter into a pissing match with you, I was just wondering where you came up with your info on this filter. I'm sure that you are a very nice guy too but the fact remains that Charley's 1100 mile un touched 1970 Z28 survivor car has this very filter element in it, and thus is contradictory to your statement of not being correct for pre 1974 vehicles..at any rate I wish I would have read this thread sooner, I would have bought it! Great item man!!!

The question is: This is the same filter Charley has posted pics from on his survivor "70 Z28" Why do you say it's not correct for pre 1974???

Because John Hinckley has engineering data (documents) to support the date change. Should it be considered assembly line because a member has one on a car? Should it be considered that only if it is on a specific members car? Pete Lindahl has AC engineering documents to support specific date changes in the screen configuration on these filters, but, it seems the endless litany of opinions I see are based on someones personal opinions, or, so and so has one on his car or the judges look for this one or that one.

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?

Concerning the one I just sold, I said that 'it is my opinion' concerning the applicable date of use based on known engineering data. By the way, what do three question marks indicate?

Regards,

Mark
