Default 1987 FHP unit 1564 about face.......

Today I enlisted the assistance of SSP Anthony to tackle the heater core and install the pristine new tan dash I located for the car. No not this one.

here is the old heater core. I couldn't buff it out so I decided to put in a new one.

The little round thing to the right is the original restrictor put in the heater hose by FoMoCo to regulate the flow of coolant.

all buttoned up and ready to go back in the car. It went back together nicely. Yes we did a quick test on the blower motor to make sure it worked. It has been replaced in the past and worked well so we left it alone, other than repairing/refurbing the wiring harness.

old dash out and heater box back in place. Anthony spent about an hour washing the heater box before putting it back in the car. I like his attention to detail!

The replacement dash came out of a low mile convertible and all we had to do to it was refurb the wiring harnesses (tape deterioration) and drill a hole for the harness for the re-located deck lid popper.

New dash in, along with a new tilt steering column and an ignition switch that works !!

Next up I will be refurbing the dash surround and putting the final touches to the rest of the dash assembly.

It was a good day in the barn, and a good day for 1564. Black and Tan, Tan interior with black wheels. Probably my favorite SSP scheme of them all.

Very nice write up and good save. I think that is the first square spot light I have ever seen.
