In the Pacific Northwest and the aftermath of Mt. Saint Helens, extreme measures were needed to combat engine seizures due to the ingestion of ash. When it found its way into the combustion chamber it actually turned to glass. The Washington State Police had to take drastic measure to keep the ash from getting into the engines.

Yes, much smaller than the air filters of that era could withstand. Besides that they would plug up instantly due to the large amount of dust in the air. Ash typically measures 6-10 microns. A current K&N filter is advertised to remove particles as small as 10 microns so even todays filters would be an issue.
