I CAN SEE PART # 00000001 !!!!!!
So far it's taken about 2.5 to 3 hours and I've reached the Heater Core!
The bad part is that I'm out of time for today and tomorrow. Monday it's expected to be very cold so it looks like I'll be finishing up then. Tight fit but I've got it! Just need to pull the core out and put everything back together now.

Not looking forward to THAT! OMG, could they have made it any more difficult? Wonder how much this work goes for at the dealer

I would have to agree on the fact that most heater cores are a regal pain to change. I did have one that was not though. Had a 1988 Ford Ranger with A/C. Had a heater core let go while I was on a trip to a drag race. Changed it trackside in about 15-20 minutes. Surprised everyone around at the time. Now that 79 Mustang that I did... :rolleyes: Entire dash was in my lap when the owner showed up. :lol: Good Luck Craig

ouch... at least the 92-96 vintage are a bit easier to get at...
that is seriously ugly.
The easiest heater core I have ever done was in a 1981 F*rd Escort.... took under an hour... but, there was no A/C!!!!!

Getting ready to do that in the 88.:( Easiest ever, 82 Mustang, it was like sliding a VCR cassette in. Unbolted a plate, slid it in, bolted the plate back. Thats how every car should be.

it wasn't too hard to get to everything, but it's gonna be a pain to get it all back together! I hope I don't forget anything....

BE VERY CAREFUL OF THE SOLDERS A THE PIPE JOINTS. inspect them carefully. Mine broke and I had to do it twice. First time 5 hours. Second time 1 hour 45 minutes.
