Thanks for your help and your advice about new seals
I believe this has given me the confidence to take this on. Thanks
Great video presentation. I admire your ability to get your message across without saying "um' every other word and also using "basically" in every sentence. My 63 Ranchero has been helped by your information, thank you !
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
Fantastic video! After watching, I went out to the garage and removed the heater from my 1962 Comet. Everything was exactly the same as with the Mustang in the video. I had no idea how to approach this effort before watching this. Like he said, it was an easy job! I did this to replace the heater hoses, but discovered that rodents had nested inside the heater. Glad I discovered that and am getting that mess cleaned up. Now, I'm going to watch the rest of the videos in this series and rehab the heater. Many thanks, man! I'd be lost without great mechanics like you that are willing to share their knowledge with newbie mechanics like me!! 5 stars, two thumbs up!!
Thanks for the kind words and I’m glad it is helping you!
Great video! Lots of attention to detail on your instructions which other repair videos can take a note from! Thank you.
I appreciate your comment, Thanks! Glad you found it useful!
So well done. Great DIY vid man.
These videos are very helpful! I have gotten my neighbor's 1966 mustang convertible running and now trying to get the cooling system to behave.
If you need any specific information please feel free to reach out for help.
Thanks Walter. I did mine several yrs back. Did a Scott drake replacement. The OEM one I removed case was showing signs of warpage not lining up. It was time 48 yrs old at the time.
Look forward to more cool stuff from you. Guido 👍🏼
Thank you for your help my Friend.
If course! That’s why I do this.
Another great and very informative video!
Good video, it helps, thanks!
Good vid! Thanks!
Thanks! I picked up a barn find 66 in March, that I'll be doing the heater core on soon. Hope you'll be finishing up the series on cooling as well, as time allows, of course!
The cooling system is done, but there are still three videos to go online. I’m much faster at actual repairs than I am at producing my videos, but I’m getting better at them.
Just got a leak on mine thanks for the info.
Contemplating getting the heater core replacement with the extended entry/exit tubes - I would appreciate any thoughts on the pros/cons of the trade off between having to feed the coolant hoses through the firewall vs. having to feed the extended tubes through the firewall. Offhand I would imagine that the extended tubes would be better but..... would love to hear the experiences from people who have done this.
The extended tubes simply make more sense. Worth the extra couple bucks to have the hose outside the firewall in my view. I did sleeve my tubes with a short section of hose to protect the tubes from possible coming in contact with the firewall and that way if a hose isn’t quite tight enough initially the lean won’t be in the carpet. Concourse correct? No. Better design? Absolutely yes!
Encouraging video. My leak is intermittent. Do you think it is the heater core? Thanks
I have seen them leak slowly and only occasionally smell of coolant. It’s an easy job really to remove and rebuild the heater. If you’re concerned, you needn’t be, it’s really not that difficult, just be patient and take your time, the whole process can be done in a weekend or a series of week nights.
Great job. I'm wondering, do you have to remove the entire box in order to swap out new hoses? Mine are 30+ years old and getting a bit dry and crusty.
If the heater core is also 30+ years old, I would pull it and service both.
Great video, but please how to replace core, fan and re install. I’m using this for a reference for a 1963 Ford falcon basically the same thing I’m helping my grandpa rebuild his

The ‘63-65 Falcon is essentially the same as ’64.5-68 Mustang without air conditioning. If you use the links I just provided you can do the work yourself without much hassle.
Never did see the core?? Guess it's in the Black box of the hole Heater box..Can't remember. Amm 66,an my mustang is a 1968 convertible 289V8...Am going to do it thru...Do you use cj,pony parts?? Thanks
Sometimes those hat-retainers on the control cables are a real booger to get off - I'm definitely not a fan of those things. Mine didn't have the blower motor resister so..... I'll have another investigation on just what's up with that [missing standard part, not on all vehicles, not used on OEM motor, fallen off, etc].
No blower resistor is the 64.5-65 single speed fan.
I just got my new heater box replacement , Getting ready to do the job . Looking at differences in parts . Old box has the blower motor ressister wire connection . and new box does not have it . Just a opening in box for where it goes . Am i suppose to take old one off old box and put it somehow on new one . Or did they neglect to have it already on , And with new heater box ? Thanks
Transfer the resistor or order and install a new one (what I would do). Not all cars use the resistor, early cars from ‘64.5 to some time in ‘65 use a 3-wire blower motor instead of the resistor.
@@TheGT350Garage Mine is 66 coup . Thanks ...
I have a 68 mustang coupe my heater box is different
Factory A/C cars in ‘67-68 use a different heater box. R&R is similar, as is the rebuild, but you also have the evaporator in the box.
Hi, does anyone know if there is a grommet for the heater hoses coming out of the firewall? How are they sealed?
Thanks :)
The hose seals the holes in the factory configuration, the original design routes the hoses into the interior and they clamp to the heater core tubes inside the car. On my installation with the extended tube heater core, I slipped sections of hose over the heater core tubes and lined them up so they would seal the holes and protect the heater core tubes. Alternatively you can just slide your heater hose’s onto the extended tubes until they go 1/4” or more into the firewall. I didn’t do that because I wanted the hose to be easily removable on the engine compartment side of the firewall.
