Thanks to all for the excellent suggestions. I do get heat, wafting out the top, so I'm going to replace the fan first, and work from there. I'll check the core too. Squirrel breath, eh? Actually I j

Hi Simon, I'm afraid you've drawn the wrong conclusion from your expreience with the '74 B. I have a '69 B that comes up to temp and puts out plenty of heat in sub-freezing weather. You probably had

The first time I saw one of those "windoshade" radiator accessories was , maybe not too concidentally, on a late '50's Volvo sedan, one of those that looked like a small white '40 Ford. It, too, had
