Heater Core Replacement - 1967 Olds Toronado

~



The windows started getting foggy on the 1967 Oldsmobile, so I knew it was time for a new heater core. I found one from AMC Parts. The job took an afternoon, but would have been much quicker except for:
  • The bolts that can only be accessed from under the car (the Toro is so low to the ground, I could not even get my head under it until I jacked it up some)
  • Figuring out how to remove the old core from the heater box
  • Making sure to use heavy-duty hoses to avoid kinks
