Regarding the availability of un-cut carpets, when I was doing RHD Conversions, and in need of a plain carpet for the conversion, I found that the supplier would supply uncut pieces so that I could do my own fitting.   You just have to ask.

CF has done everything required that I can see.  There are a number of us here that know CF well.

Isn't the ElDorado's transmission a TH425 or 450?

Who are you?  I thought there was a rule about 5 years ago that everyone needed a name in their sign on or footer. It might be of your own volition but since we don't know who Carfreak is that doesn't help much. It's frustrating to some when Lars would not say "I was the one who placed this motion to the board for vote" even though he is an Admin on this forum.  Now we get a person referencing themself as Carfreak saying "I'm a board member and I voted for the change". 

I guessing that carfreak's first name starts with "S" and his last name is "Pashukewic".

The trouble with parting out is there is not much demand for parts for cars of that era. When you have sold the good stuff there is the carcass left to deal with not to mention space has been taken up during the part out period. BTW  I do have an engine.    Harry

Close enough Bill ! 
Remember to tighten it up once in a while. Don't ask me why I recommend this.

Technical / Authenticity / 1970 DeVille heater core chang...

Last post by rms70 - Yesterday at 06:08:03 PM

Heater water valve inlet was clogged and rusted. Figured I would flush core before installing new one and ,of course, the core leaks. Shop manual says to remove the entire blower assembly and motor but won't I also  have to remove the AC evaporator cover which  might mean opening the system? Looking at the heater core cover near the inlet and outlet tubes there appears to be  a full length vertical seam which separates the heater cover from the AC evaporator cover. Does the blower assembly split at this point? Also on the cover I see the bolts to remove but there are about 5 points where I can see a screw has been threaded through on the reverse side. I read about the 4 in car screws which are difficult to access. If I understand correctly they are for securing the core itself but do they go through the heater blower cover? Core replacement seems  straightforward but it seems as if the shop manual is a little vague on details.
