  • Heater core

    Well I put a heater core in the winter Festiva today. This wasn't as bad of a job as I thought it would be, start to finish was approx 4 1/2 hours. It takes longer to pull the dash and put it back then to actually do the job. This was in a car with A/C too. It'll be nice having some heat in the winterstiva!!

      Nope it was plugged up real bad. I think it was leaking at some other time and someone put some kind of stop leak in it.

                      If your windows fog up a lot, that's another sign.
