    57 air cleaner - cleaning the element

    greetings, my 57 corvette is equipped with a sealed air cleaner. Does anyone know the best way to clean the element? Thanks!

    Susan -

    As I recall from my 57's, that procedure is covered in the "Maintenance" section of your owner's manual.

      Thanks John, yes. the manual does say clean it with solvent then oil it with motor oil. I was hoping for a recommendation on solvent and methods. I wouldn't want to distroy that 55 year old filter.... I thought I'd ask before I plunged!! Susan
