Default Detailed Heater Core Replacement Instructions

I am replacing the heater core on my 73. I've just typed up detailed instructions, 2-1/2 pages worth. If you send me a PM with your email address, I'll send it in Word and/or WordPerfect format.

I don't know if the instructions are the same for a 79, but I's like to get half of them. The removal half. My heater core has been disconnected for 2 years now. Too hot in FL, the headers heat the interior in the winter sufficiently. That and the glass tops.

Yikes I can't believe the responses and PM requests. I will answer all and forward instructions asap. I do not have photos yet, I just got a digital camera last week and must learn all about it. FYI - I don't think it matters much, but my car has a 454 with AC.

Don't know if he did, but here's one for an 80/air at FAQ.

And check under the misc category and there is one on a 70 from Juliet.

Hopefully I haven't missed anyone who has asked for a copy of my instructions. If so, send me a PM with your email address. The instructions should also be somewhere on www.corvettefaq.com in the very near future.
