Yes, I was looking at one recently and that is what I saw, 97's were used with mesh style rudimentary air cleaners. I have my own opinions but this is getting confusing. There may never be any consensus, kind of like what motor oil to use.

That just it... people are always wanting to bring in opinion when this is science and facts.

Opinions are worthless... like arguing green cars are better than blue cars....

Most of the early air cleaners where mesh and oil bath which don't plug up or cause restriction when dirty.

The oil debate is often a click bait, pot stir tactic used to get people riled.

In the end its pointless because the end failure is no oil in the engine that it fails not what type etc...
