my ****storm continues. i got my car with no blower boxes, we put them in a few weeks ago. its been so warm here, i didnt worry about heater/defrosting anything.
first thing. i am only getting warm, room temp air out the vents. the heater core was new when we put the boxes back in. the car was warm 170-180*, new thermostat, no leaks, no antifreeze smell. the temp does adjust with the dial. it cools down good, but it doesnt get warm/hot. any idea's? the coolant tubes on the intake have a bunch of chalky rust crap in them i saw when we assembled the top end. could this be an issue?
heater hoses are new, new antifreeze.
second problem; i was only getting air through the defrost vents. i read and installed the line from the a/c port on the tree, to the firewall vacuum line. i chased at line through the firewall and back to the controls. its all connected, no cracks, no vac leaks. however, the FLOOR vent now works, the defrost works, but the VENT does not work.
i get no air at all out the dash vents. it blows strictly out the defrost when its on the vent selection. i've looked around behind the dash as much as i could, cant find anything out of place.
when i first tested the vents after putting in the firewall vacuum line, i got a weird metal grinding sound from the engine bay only when selecting the VENT. it did this 2 or 3 times, only when it was at max flow. then it stopped, and has not done it since.
this car is driving me nuts
