    Air Filter cleaning for 62

    Hi all

    Can someone tell me what is the proper way to clean the sponge type material air filter for my 62? What do you clean it with and are you supposed to coat it with some type of oil? Also do they make a regular paper type filter? Which is better?

    Thanks....John

    According to the ST-12 manual, you clean the element with kerosene or mineral spirits, squeezing out the excess. Note, it says also to NEVER use a hot degreaser or solvent containing Acetone. Then you dip in light engine Oil and squeeze out excess.

    A paper elemnt is still available from GM, Delco # A350C, GM # 648295.
    As for which is better, I would use the original for judging and the paper for everyday.

    PS. I also heard that K&N is making a replacement filter but I haven't been able to find one yet.

      Wix makes a paper element for this air cleaner. I forget the part number. But the interchange guide will cross reference it to the AC Delco and GM numbers posted. The Wix seems to be more available at your FLAPS than the others.
