Hi guys,
I'm already here for a question about ... the heater cores on a 1971 C3 without air conditioning.
The story: here in Italy is winter and I have problem with the temperature of the engine water, never up of 160 fr. I have the thermostat at 160 and I have replaced it with the new one at 180 fr. In this operation I have had problems with a leak from the " thermostatic neck " and, I suppose, the pressure in the water circuit have damaged the heater cores ( the original 40 years) and have created a little leak.
For this reason I have placed a order for a new heater cores without AC for my vette. In the manual I don't understand all the procedure for replace it ( sorry, but I'm not a champion in english). I know the cores without AC are quite easy to change from the cores with AC, but I would like to understand what I have to remove for make the better operation and don't have problems.
Have someone of you just replace the heater cores in a vette like mine and have pics?
Thanks for your helping.
Daniele
