    62 foam air filter.

    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..

    I had a new one that was in storage for about 4-5 years. When I went to move it, it crumbled also.

    They may be good for SHOW but for GO.

      Good thing you checked. I have a 63 with a similar filter concern. I currently use a K & N filter I got from Corvette Central, but have learned from Duke Williams they aren't worth a crap as a filter, and so I'll probably go back to paper. I have several foams around, but disliked them due to oil residue in my intake valley all the time, no matter how much I squeezed them out. Duke says these are worthless as filters too.
