    What have you done to your square lately??

    Not en Not entirely sure TBH. The old one was crumbling goo and appeared to have torn at the ends. As I tested the HVAC controls I noticed there was a gap between the door and case when fully closed. I assume you'd not want blowby if the door is meant to seal. I chose to gasket on attempt two...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Ha! I'm redoing mine for the second time... discovered I had a bad vacuum valve in the HVAC controls after getting it all back together. Since it was out again I decided to redo all the gaskets properly, including pulling and "restapling" the one on the defrost door. I hope to reinstall it...

    Transparency goes a loooong way with me. Knowing what you just said will make me reconsider my position on never buying from them. They should just put it on their website as a banner and maybe they'd stop being flamed all over the internet.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yup she ready. @Camar068 good advice. I had to put a cheap aluminum unit in, but kept the original to have rebuilt later. I just did the heater core, brass OE style replacement too.

    Heater Core how to

    Have been unable to locate on LMC. I found the OE part number 15-71220 but no one has it. Anybody have one in a parts rig they'd part with? I just need the rubber bit really, the assembly seems OK.

    Heater Core how to

    Well, found the hiss.... anyone know where to source these parts?

    Heater Core how to

    Ok checked vacuum lines and they did nothing at all when reversed. I've discovered that when the control head is off I get complete closure which is probably correct? My assumption is the partial opening is to pull dry inside air for defrosting. Any vent selection I choose seems to ride in that...

    Anybody know this brand of wheel?

    Heater Core how to

    Well, I did mark everything and put it back as it was. However, I did not check function before disassembly because the control head was out and had not been replaced. I installed the new one during reassembly. Fan didn't kick on very strong either, I have to diagnose that still. Hot cold...

    Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc

    These are making a comeback like crazy. A guy here in the NW has started making new ones that look vintage. You got a real nice original, congrats!

    Heater Core how to

    Summit was the winner. Brass OE fit, no air gaps. But now of course I have an issue, I think... HVAC off. Defrost on. Should this not be closed all the way?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Working on the heater core. Tried all the aluminum units from all the sellers. Not a one was a different style. All had the pointy bottom and would not allow the case to close. I ordered up a Summit brass OE replacement. Bingo! Perfect fit with no air gaps, reasonable price and quick delivery...
