any tips on replace heat core
I'm replacing the heater core on my 76, w/ ac, 350. I've got the interior apart. Any suggestions on removing the cover to get to the heater core. It looks like a complete removal of all duct work to me. Am I missing something?
Thanks

When I put the carpet & interior in my '76, I figured I would replace the heater core while I had the ducting out to reseal. (DO reseal it while apart!) I took the whole duct assy out and had it on the workbench in the garage. I never did manage to get the damned thing open to get the heater core out of it! I wound up reinstalling it out of frustration. It never leaked when I had it hooked up so I took the gamble.
I've never run hoses to it since putting the stroker engine in the car though so I have no idea if it is still good.
