Default Heater Core

That link gives some good information. It's tough but you can do it. I did mine on a 69, having no experience in that sort of project. You have to take a lot of stuff apart, just be patient and take your time.
Check the core before you put it all back together, mine leaked, and had to get another one.

Good Luck
Pat

I did my 72 ...Don't get in a hurry...Take out right side speaker-kick panel cover / map pocket dash panel / center instrument panel / radio /....then start pulling ac ducts. I think there are 3 bolts inside and ONE nut outside to pull heater box out. Take the whole heater box out from the inside. After the box is out, you can install the core on a bench. Take your time and clean everything - makes a good 2 day project and allows you to clean up a lot of stuff that has never seen the light of day.
Good luck....
