Change heater core steps

[anlauto]

The motor plate gets bolted to the body with the three 7/16 nuts...that's a good enough ground.

Right on, I'm going to check all that  this weekend.  Thank you very mutch for your help again.

Hi, I bought the heater core from rock auto, took the most expensive one thinking that the quality would be better.  Since Im really busy my dad did the job. He had to re weld the spacer plate between the inlet and outlets off the rad. She wasn't weld at the right place.

I had a similar experience with a Pep Boys part, and it was a "good name" part.....

I think they are all made in some sweat shop in china now and their tolerances are not great.  Finally found one that fit well enough without having to reweld.

The hardest part of the whole job on a non-AC car, IMHO , is dealing with the control cables from the heater controls.

Did mine a few years back and for the life of me cant get the mix cable to work right.  GRRRRRR.

And my back hurts too much to climb under there again now.  LOL

Since its a nice weather car most of the time, not worried about it.
