1985 El Camino--Heater Core Replacement




By Ross - usenet poster

" "
I need to replace the heater core in my '85 El Camino (V8 w/ a/c).
(No, it's not leaking from the hose connections. Pressure testing has
indicated the core is leaking.)

GM shop manual is very little help as schematics are not even for the
El Camino(must be for the Monte Carlo).

I would like advice as to how best to remove/replace this core.

If anyone has experience doing this, ANY advice/tips would be
appreciated. If there are links on the web that would be helpful,
please let me know those.

Thanks!!

itt should be the same as the monte carlo. the heater core is accessed from under the hood near fire wall on passenger side. look where the heater hoses are going into. remove the cover from box and you will see where it sits. good luck.

It's not hard to do, the fiberglass box under the hood
comes apart * bolt heads covered by sealer, drag a magnet to find *
Carefully remove top of box, and
heater core / AC evaporator. If memory serves me right,
Cowl screen [ plastic piece ] comes off, might have to remove wiper arms.
Did one so long ago, details are foggy. Paint box bolts white or yellow for
easier second time repair.
