Ford Mustang: AHH DAMN IT TO HELL

You did not mention the year of your car. I am going to assume 1987 -
1993. Try this link.

http://pw1.netcom.com/~skent/mustang/1990/heater_core/hcore.html

Cost of the heater core - about $40 (make sure you buy a Ford, not
aftermarket)

Heater core installation - priceless

This is a pain in the butt job. I have heard quotes from $250 to $400
labor. Being a little cheap and wanting to learn how to work on my car I
did my own. While not a hard job it is tedious. I took apart the dash
and did the installation in about 5 hours. I waited to till the next day
to put everything back together. Figured I would be more patient the
next day. Bag and label all the little screws and stuff. You can by-pass
the core for the time being.

Hey Bill

I was wondering...........when I bought the car, the gentleman
told me he had already changed the heater core a few years prior....so I am
guessing it is about 4 years or so old! Do they normally have such a short
life!?


IS it really a 5 hour job to do this!!!!

Thanks

Rick

Rick,

On an early car such as yours, 3 hours tops, and that includeds
removing the center console and passenger seat..................Beware
of anything a DPO (that would be dreaded previous owner) states unless
backed up with paperwork to prove things....................

To Bill or anybody else who would know. I also need to replace my core.
Can I also do the Evap at the same time ? Will it require more time ? Does
anyone know a breakdown of the process as posted about the core ? I plan to
redo my A/C as a complete job. Everything will be changed. Also any
pointers as to where to by the best parts? I was told something about
copper. Thank 2 all

It's a collar-like thing that fits inside the supply side hose on either the
end on manifold or the heater depending on year - early/mid eighties it was
at heater end... has a hole about the diameter of a pencil eraser..
