Hey Listers:
This recent "condensation" thread got me thinking about my '67 GT which
has perpetual problems while driving during the winter. Then a friend
stopped by yesterday with his GT and told me how he flushed the heater
core out with a garden hose and a high pressure garden type attachment.
He removed both heater hoses from the engine and stuck the garden hose
into the heater hoses, one at a time. He said he was shocked to see
sand, dirt, pine needles and other garbage fow out of the heater! Now
he reports that there is TONS more air flow when defrosting the
windscreen. This sounds like a cheap approach to restore the heater to
original capacity. Anyone out there tried this?
Also, I would like to replace my original single speed heater with a
late model MG 2 speed heater. Will this simply bolt in? What year did
BL start using the 2 speed heater? I think it must have been around
1975 or so. I checked on the price for a three position switch (off,
low, high) that is the early ('62-'66) headlight switch. It costs about
$30.00, from our local Moss distributor, which is a little too pricey
for me! Anyone know of a less expensive vendor for the same switch?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers from rainy (more to come) California!
Jim
