Are you referring to the hoses that come out of the firewall? If so, they are your heater hoses. If they are blocked off, you have a heater core that's leaking. You need to replace the heater core & the hoses...
yeah they are the ones that are coming out of the FW. but the lines are blocked off idk why but the hoses are not even there?
I bet, if you look close, the hose goes from the water pump to the intake manifold. This is what people do, so they can drive the car. You just won't have heat in the car...
Like Merccruizers said, You need to get a new heater core and hoses. The heater core probably started leaking and someone just pulled it and the hoses.
yep one goes to the I.M. and the other one is cut off thanks for the info i dont think i'll be nedding the heater in this 1,000 degree california heat
defrosters are a handy thing in the fog.unless you are never going to be driving in bad weather.i would install a new heater core just in case as soon as you can afford it.if you ever get caught in a cold rain storm you will see what i mean.
yeah i remember when me and my dad were in a storm and the defroster in the mercedes wouldnt work and he couldnt see anything i'm thinking of getting one of those electric portable defrosters i saw on motortrend
anything is better than nothing.do a little research changing a heater core is really not all that difficult,then if you ever get in a colder area you will have heat.you have time to do it check ebay they are pretty cheap at the moment.
thanks for the advice -i'm trying to put a/c in the car so i have to get one of those smaller cores and all the other parts
i bet someone on the forum has a car with a/c they are parting out, check the parts ads. my mav has nothing in the heater area because the last owner was going to just race it so now i have to put everything back in.
I have an a/c heater box with both cores and the blower still in it. Cant say the cores are any good but it did come from a recently wrecked car. Its out of a 71 Comet. If interested you can email me at jcrowl1@columbus.rr.com
sorry i wont be working on the a/c until a couple of months have to work on the fuel lines and carb first and i do have working blower i'm gonna check if the core(s) works tomorrow with my uncle thanks anyways
yes but the a/c / heater box is a whole different monster....you have to switch the whole unit to change it over to a/c. Even the heater core is different on it. i think the only thing that will work on the a/c box from the heater box is the fan motor
