So I took off the hearter parts of my parts car and cleaned them all up and painted everything did the drivers side and decided to try it out..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) tempeture was about 60 outside last night and after running a few minutes the vent was putting out a weak 72 hardley any air movement. the flapper bos is working and in good condition and the dual fan blows out a fair amount of air, but it doesnt seem to make it up front... on chilly mornings and evenings I want some heat and defrost... this wont cut it in my opinion... what else has been done??? I had a crazy idea of a power inverter, and hair dryers behind the speakers, anyone done anything like this??? I have seen 12 volt hair dryers... what else has been done????? or what am I doing wrong ???? I know I have read many complaints about the heat but I had no idea it was that bad...

Tip one.
Open front hood and remove the paper hose from the small distribution box on both sides. Under rear of car, remove flexible hose from longitudinal connection. Stick a shop vac on both tubes and suck out any blockage....mice nests, dust etc etc etc. Tip two. The front distribution box leaks after 35 years. Look at it closely...both sides. The box gets fed by two hoses....one from the fresh air box under the windshield and the other is from the rear heater hose. Remove the paper tube that goes to the fresh air box and save it. Take off both sides. Cover all four holes with rattle can paint covers and use screw clamps to hold them on...they fit really nice. Hook up the heater hose to the original connection it went to. Now try it. If you set the dash knobs in the right direction you will get pure hot air now...not a dilutted hot/cold air thing. RIch |
