Pulled about 4 pounds worth of mouse house out of the heater boxes on my 71 K20. Looks like at some point the heater core started to leak on the PO, so he just routed the heater hose back into the motor and decided he could live without heat. I'm guessing thats why he didn't notice when the mice in his neighborhood turned the heater boxes into a Hilton. Completely rotted out the metal baffle in the fiberglass outer box, and started to rot a hole in the metal inner box. I also see that the plug on the heater switch was cut off and a toggle switch was wired direct to the motor. Should be fun trying to figure out what wires should go where.
