I got heat in the white 4 door

I bought it for a daily driver but could never get enough heat from the heater to drive it when its cold so it sat out the last 3 winters but I got heat today,the heater core slides in the heater box on the firewall but is supposed to have a rubber seal that goes around it but most was missing so I went to the hardware store and got some foam and made a seal. I am glad I did not scrap the old core as I compared it and the original had it more tubes and since it did not leak I reused it,I ran the hose through both and the original flowed a bunch more so it looks like the new core is going to get scrapped. It now has heat and I can drive it when it gets cold and have enough heat to defrost the windows. Jeff

cool! or should I say WARM!!

I was usually done driving it this time of the year but not now,it was hard to get the windows defrosted when it got cold so I parked it and only used it on sunny days during the winter. I also got the heater in the wagon to put out more heat too,since it has factory a/c it has a bunch of vacumn switches and vacumn motors that kept me busy trying to figure out which one went bad. The wagon has a vacumn can under the hood and it was junk making all the vacumn motors only work about 1/2 of what they were supposed to and after I replaced it everything worked and I got better heat,thoses two cars took me a few years to get the heaters working right and it was simple stuff but since I never really drove them when it was cold I did not look too hard for the problem.
