Needs Pics/Info on Heater Core Replacement
i know this topic has probably been covered MANY times, but i searched and couldnt find anything with in depth info. i have a 79' with A/C and was wondering if anybody has taken enough pictures where i could see how to remove the heater core. it looks buried in there, but i have the motor out for about 2 more weeks. i figured now is a good time as any to replace it...interior is out too. Thanks in Advance

Oh yr in for a pain in the A&*, the best time to replace the heater core is when the engine is out....... (gives you more room), pull the A/C box off the engine side of the firewall, then you will need to take off the passenger side of the dash. this will give you access to the interior box, its a lot of work but this is the time to do it,while the engine is out and you have the room...... myself? I got a new core,and was told thats its not a bad idea to have it pressure checked before I do the install.... (its a good idea to do this) Yea dont want to ever have to do this again..... hope this helps?,
