I worked on these puppies in dealers back in the mid 60s when they were new, said it somewhere in the Forum before and will again: Initially cars were coming off the truck with the solder-dipped diagonal mesh filters, although occasionally we would see the solder-dipped square mesh, and if ordered from the parts dept a solder-dipped square mesh would arrive; then at some point I cannot precisely remember, everything began to arrive with solder-dipped square mesh. For anyone really interested in getting it right, bottom line from somebody who was there, is that 1965 through 67 either diagonal or square mesh were original and are correct, provided they are solder-dipped. When new, the paper was very slightly yellowed, with age the yellowing darkened.
