    That thread on the dash removal talked about at the beginning would be helpful...

    So.... did you get the heater core replacements done and how did it go? I did a replacement in my '86 GT about 20 years ago and to this day it's still holding up (I'm sure I just jinxed myself), but I'm nervous that it may be nearing the end of its life...

    I read this thread prior to doing this job. Very helpful, but ugh! I'm currently changing out the heater core in my LTD wagon. What an absolute PITA. I'm taking 3 days to do it because I'll burn this car to the ground if I work on it any more than that, I just have to walk away after 2-3 hours. The Fairmont heater core was a piece of cake by comparison.

    Will we be able to complete this install if we are under legal drinking age?

    You can do it. Just try to be patient and take your time.

    Note: If you are working on a column shift vehicle, be aware that the speedo cluster is attached to the steering column via a small cable that actuates the gear selector/indicator. The indicator needs to be removed from the cluster prior to fully dropping the steering column. There's 1 small screw retaining it to the cluster.
