While checking my 62 for it's maiden voyage this year I pulled off the air cleaner and when I took out the foam filter it sort of crumbled in my hands. See attached pictures.
I would recommend that anyone with a correct type foam element check them before starting thier engine.
I am going to replace the foam with a AC A350C pleated paper filter since the car is not going to be judged.
I did wash and oil the filter last summer and it did not show any signs of deterioration. I would think the small foam particles would just get toasted while going through the engine but no sense taking a chance..
