Re: 70 hornet heater core replacement -- NOT FUN.

[Jerry Casper <gremlingts@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Thanks for the warning/heads up, Tom...I have a '70
Hornet 4-door sedan that will need a heater core (
incidentally, I JUST bought a new one off Ebay for it
a few weeks ago...can't find any locally, saw it on
ebay and spent the $$$ ), and this might save me a
little "unnecessary" cussin'. I'm sure with all that
work, it'll still need some, but at least I'm
forewarned, and will forearm myself ( not
wrestling-related ) with some appropriate liquid
libations to induce some tranquility before attempting
it. Considering the car has sat 7-8 years since I last
drove it, I'd say it won't be soon when I begin this
project, but at least I have the correct part now ( I
HOPE...this core was for a '70-72 ). Thanks again for
the post, I'll save it for future $@(!*, uh, I mean
reference...
