Question
How do I change the heater core in my 67 charger,everthing is stock.Mike

Answer
If you have a console in the car that will need to come out. Remove the glove box and then the heater to cowl support bracket. Next remove the heater hoses after draining the radiator, heater motor wires, defroster hoses, all the cables and controls. Inside the engine compartment remove the three nuts that hold the heater assembly to the fire wall. Inside the car rotate the heater assembly until the mounting studs are pointing up and remove the assembly out from under the dash. With the heater assembly on the bench remove the screws holding the case together and take out the core. Reverse the procedure to put it back together.
