Question
I have a 68 Mustang that has coolant leaking on the passenger side, under the glove box. What do i need to do to get to the hoses behind the heater box????
I am a Model A guy, but I will try to help you. You may have to drop the heater unit to get to it, but check on the engine side of the dash panel. You may be able to get to the hoses there. Usually, the htr nipples stick through the dash and then the hoses are installed. Don't be afraid to drop the htr. Should be just 2 or 3 bolts that you get from the engine side. That's about all I can suggest. You will have more fun woth that car if you can get a service manual for it and join a ford car club.
Good luck
