Re: Restoring heater box/A/C system

Also,

I think I picked up the evap. drain hose from Old Air, might even work, time will tell.

You can install new rubber on your kick panel vent doors or buy new doors, I took the later option and painted.

Heater core's had gaskets of some sort, most might be installed or reinstalled w/o but I used high temp 3M insulator tape.
Be neat if the core melts it anyway.............The foam gaskets they sell don't work, that's how often they're installed I guess?? Do over I'd cut my own if I had the foam. Some guys like to use the 3M for other gaskets as well, word is at the heater box, but I don't know, my kit came with a foam gasket. If you like the condition of your evap. case, invest in Rolite Fiberglass polish, goes a long way and a great metal polish in places too.
