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 $@(!*, uh, I mean reference... - Jerry - --- Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Un-@#!@$#-believable. >...
