I need to know what this hook is. I do not have one. Does it latch the heater box to the cowl?
Where can I get one ASAP. I will be ready to install my heater box in a day or 2 and this might hold me up if I actually need it.
Thanks
That hook holds the box tight to the cowl . Without it it will hang down. A bit of a trick to get it on if you didn't see how it came off.
Agree, please post the removal and reinstall on the hook. I need to replace the heater core on my car (non ac car as well) and had planned on removing the heater box and restore it.
Here's another angle of the cowl hook. You reach up into the passenger side floor vent and push the hook toward the firewall. The heater box should drop. Although the service manual doesn't instruct it, I removed the lower portion of my inner glovebox to give more clearance to remove the box.
That heater box and blower motor looks terrific! You do that yourself? Great job!
Thank you; yes I did. And no special tools or plating was necessary. Soap and water and a toothbrush on the housing, and green scotch brite pads and 0000 steel wool, then satin clear on the blower motor. Same with the cable brackets. Hand polished the hardware, and cleaned the assorted black phosphate clips.
The seal kit came from Golling of Roseville, as did the heater core. I used some of the new seals, but not all.
