Detroit Muscle makes a great rebuild kit for the heater boxes and with the new foam in place, it was an easy reassembly. I first washed the box with soap and water along with a brillo pad. That removed all the mold, dirt, and funk from the box. These boxes are unpainted so just a good cleaning is all it needs. Interestingly, there are three date codes on the box: the half piece shows the 351st day of 1969, shift 3 (I think that's what that 3 means
), the main box has an ink stamp indicating there 76th day of 1970, 1st shift, and the final assembly date with part number showing the 103rd day of 1970. Neat stuff and I was able to save two of them. The third is sort of ghostly, but it's still there
.
So back in the car it goes along with the pedal quadrant (Steve will add the pedal pads and new accelerator pedal/spring....I mean, he's gotta do something!
). Meanwhile, like a bad 70s adult flick, it's onto the rear end!
Leafs are blasted and I'm awaiting rebuild parts coming Friday. Still need to press out the bushings, but that's easy enough to do. Who am I kidding..... something will go wrong there too!
More to come.
Cheers
