Guess what I get to do this holiday weekend. May 24, 2013, 08:25:09 AM In the midst of educating a turbo cobalt driver on the virtue of a V8 RWD car, I suddenly got myself a foggy windshield. . It was pretty dramatic, I'm sure he thought a smoke bomb went off in my car. It would have been pretty visible to him through my BACK WINDOW.#worthit Quote Selected

Guess what I get to do this holiday weekend. Reply #3 – May 24, 2013, 10:49:24 AM Sorry, J, I don't think so. Besides, I just had this dash out to swap the HVAC, harness and cluster, and it's only a 2 hour job anyway. I wish I had opened the plenum cover on the HVAC box when I had it out, I probably would have seen signs of leakage. The part was only $25, and the time would have been next to nothing.

Worked for me.Nah it's a Lincoln .Just a bit of caution: the heater core for a electronic climate control car is slightly different than the one for a manual HVAC car. I think the ECC equipped Thunderbirds, Cougars, and Mark VIIs share a heater core. The standard Mustang one won't work, at least it didn't when I swapped the one on my Thunderbird. I had to get one for an electronic climate control car. Quote Selected

Guess what I get to do this holiday weekend. Reply #9 – May 24, 2013, 03:42:07 PM Really? I orderd one from NAPA years ago and the non-EATC one was different than the EATC one. They even had different part numbers. The non-EATC one was listed as also fitting a Mustang. I did end up returning the NAPA core and getting a Motorcraft one from the dealer. This was about 8 years ago. Quote Selected

Guess what I get to do this holiday weekend. Reply #11 – May 24, 2013, 07:19:00 PM The difference between the A/C and Non-A/C heater cores is the way the tubes coming out are routed. The A/C one has the tubes towards one side and non-A/C one has them in the middle. Quote Selected
