INSTALLING THE HEATER/DEFROSTER ASSEMBLY

After completely reconditioning the heater, including replacing the heater core, we fastened it into place today.  All new fasteners were used because the originals were rusted and were destroyed during the removal process.  The corrugated hoses connect the heater box to the defroster vents.









The screws shown in the lower left quadrant of the photo above connect the heater box to the ductwork that extends the width of the car.  The polished stainless steel vents, shown in the photo to the left,  fit underneath that duct.  There is one vent for each side...not a great deal of air flow.










Stay tuned...
