looks like a bad HC to me, set aside an afternoon and get it done..

 

[BKD]

damm.......

thanks

 

[1BIGMOFO]

its not a serious job it just takes forever and you have to pretty much take your whole dash out..

 

[BKD]

yea that sucks never took the dash out before have to read up on it ........
thanks again..

 

[1BIGMOFO]

no problem, if you have any q's just ask.

 

[BKD]

Do you think it would be a good idea to change the clutch quadrent and cable while the dash is apart ? I did it a while ago with stock rep? I am still haveing prob's with the clutch and i think it's the cable.........

Try it, having the dash apart is only going to make it easier. Good luck with the heater core....nothing hard just a pain to get to.

YEA JUST DONT KNOW WHENE I WILL GET TO DOING IT..........just thiking what else i can do while the dash is out ........

 

[1BIGMOFO]

its a good idea to do the cable when the dash is out. Not much else you can do to it unless its grey and you want to convert to black or something...

UNLESS you want gauges.. its a good time to run wiring and do it right!!!!

its a good idea to use the ford oem cable, but an aftermarket quadrant and firewall adjuster are very very helpful.

i cant remember who it is but someone makes a three hook quadrant that gives you even more adjustability. i would personally go with that if i was doing it.

as for the heater core, here is a link on how to do it
