Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: T bone special



Doc,
    Darn it! I will be pulling the engiine out of my '71 Firebird today and I promise I'll check on those belts today. My son has been really sick and we had to call 911 because he had a febrile seizure so its been hectic and there is always ALOT going on here for some reason. :)

Those dashes come apart real easy. While restoing the one in the other Hornet a few years ago I had it 3/4 of the ways apart and decided to put a new heatter core in it while I had it apart. Turns out that was a good move cause the 25 year old one was just about to start leaking. Since it was so far apart I just poped the rest of it completelyout to make installing the heater core easier. When I got the new Hornet lastOct. it had the heater core bypassed so that was one of the first things  repaired as winter was only 4-6 weeks away. Even without removeing the dash a heater core is not a hard job. For those of you that have a later Hornet or Gremlin with a vacume controled heater control valve there is a replacement avalible from your local auto parts store that also works on Javelins too. Since I have a complete dash apart in the house with all the parts I was able to double check all the things that needed to be removed. I only went outside for 10 min. yesterday for some tools and it was beautiful. I just startedmy new antibiotic yesterday and was not going to press my luck on staying outside. Did you check on the seat belts yet? That would be a plus for metoo besids the coil. This weekend is supposed to be decent weather wise. It appears we are a warming trend here in the northeast, but I always kept my snow tires on  my cars till mid April to be on the safe side.
