Then I'm looking for an embossed diagonal mesh. Thanks for the clarification! Chris

For whatever it's worth, I can tell you from working on these puppies when they were new that they were delivered with both the diagonal and the cross mesh. The key is the solder dipped wire. Within months parts dept replacements became the cheaper-to-manufacture stamped expanded-metal type that everybody is now familiar with and still readily available.

Thanks Lance. The one in the pictures is from my '67 L78 Camaro convertible "Bat Car" that Sherman Gerlach saved all these years.We'll see what pops up! Open to options as long as it has the old brown paper. Chris

My good friend Tom Dietz has one that has the silkscreen, but the correct mesh. The problem is, he wants me to buy his car, memorabilia, and parts collection to get it! I don't have the room. Still looking.

...and your point would be?

Thanks to Lance Hill I found one that is correct. Wouldn't mind two more.

Ed, Idea. You buy Toms collection, and I'll get the air filter from you?
