Re: Fw: Re. Thanks for the help, and a update on my '64 330 Wagon

Thanks for sharing the update on your '64 and letting people know this Mail List Clubhouse has helped you out, John.  Sometimes it gets quiet and lonely in cyberspace! :) 

Joe Suchy sells heater cables. His phone number is on the swap meet page:

Could be the heater core gave it up from sitting a long time without antifreeze in it. But it could be a lot of other things too. You'll just have to hunt and test. Removing and replacing is not as hard on a non-factory AC car as it is on a factory AC-car. One step at a time. You may want to remove the front seat to give yourself more room to "become one" with the under-dash. :) 

I don't know if new / repro heater cores are available now. They were not last time I looked, but that was a while back.The vendor page has a few leads for heater core rebuilding.  http://1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/restoration-sources.html

Thanks,

>To Doug and every Forum member who helped out on my question about the 1965 727.  THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH !!!....If anybody couldn't figure out how to qualify a transmission from the simply unbelievable outpouing of aid I recieved on this: they'd have to just be totally devoid of learning skills.  My apologies for not responding sooner but I've been in the garage past few evenings actually making some minor progress in major amounts of time on my '64 330 wagon.   Finally got the heater control cable in, as holding brackets had to be fabbed only to have the end ring snap off the cable.  Shortened the cable housing and bent a new curl onto the end but it's not ideal...is this piece available from anybody at a reasonable cost?...

When I started on this car years ago the core was checked and leaked nary a drop and seemed to run very freely.  Could hooking up the valve and operating it to free it up somewhat have caused this?  It wasn't frozen-up solid but it was stiff.  After a few minutes of working it a bit the operation was much smoother.  Still it looks like it's a leak between box and firewall though, the nipples, valve, box, all were bone dry inside the car under the dash upon immediate inspection.  So what options do I have if the core has just died for no apparant reason?  Are these things available/expensive?  What about the install?  The FSM outlines the proceedure and it doesn't sound tooo bad but has anybody got some first hand experience they can impart on what to expect if the worse case scenario is about to become a reality?  Again my most sincere thanks to all on this forum... it's been a long time coming but maybe I'll be back in a '62-'65 or two soon. I'd have never made it this far without the help and inspiration of this outstanding group.
