Any of you that have had to change the heater fan motor know what I'm talkin about. What a job, I should have taken the passanger seat out the first thing I did but waited till I was almost done. Talk about a cramped place to word, my back still hurts this morning, but it sure is nice to turn on the heater to high and not hear the fuse blow or the sound like someone is grinding wallnuts. But the unit works great and best  of all,  HEAT IS GOOD   :lol:

  Pintony, your a better man than me, I don't think I could have done it in one evening, a few hours on thurs, 3+ hours on sat. nite and a few more hours on sunday morn. I'm glad my motor out of the parts car worked. All I have left to do is the engine swap and it will be time to paint :amazed:

Hello Farm boy.
 In one evening I stripped the complete interior. Seats side pannels carpet and shifter along with most of the dash + sound system 6Disk changer & console.
 I installed NEW carpet seats"FRONT" and the weater core all at the same time.
 I started saturday night at 7:00 and finished at 4:00AM on sunday.
seemy posts in "your projects."
 Under Purple Pinto goes to Knotts.
 Glad you got your Pinto fixed up.
 Are you going to Carlisle Pa.?

Farmoy, there are several of us here in Oregon and some of you guys in Wa., so maybe we should try and get one planned somwhere around this area...   I would be willing to do my part to get something going.  Let me know if you  know any others that would like to do something if you know of any. 

Yeah, but where would be a good location to have this??  I would not mind traveling some distance to do this.  I'm in Southern OR. per say, along the I-5 corridor.  If we can get a hold of any and all members that would like to participate in this, then I will do all I can to help make it happen.  Can someone here give me a way to look that information up, maybe by doing a member search or something??  Any ideas will be appriciated.

Oh yeah, I did the heater core replacement in my 73 wagon twice. I replaced it the first time with one I pulled out of a parts car. That one lasted almost two weeks. I was on my way home from town one foggy night, someone's hog was out in the road and I had to brake real hard to miss it. I don't know what that did to the heater core but it sprang a leak. So there I was replacing it once again, I used a new one that time. To make matters worse I had hang in (underdash) air conditioning in the Pinto and that had to come out twice also.

ThunderPinto came with a/c stock. I began to repair the leaking core and thought I was delivering a child. I threw all that stuff away and went to the bone yard and got all the no-a/c stuff right down to the smallest grommet. Now when I want to cool off in my Pinto I reach over to the glove box and retreive a damp premoistened towlette. Ha!!!!!

You junked all those parts??

Man, I went nuts trying to find them when I installed mine. The turbo people use them to re-locate the blower motor out of the way of the turbo, and still keep heat and de-fog.
