          LMAO... thats funny, rite thar.

          I have gotten pretty good at pullling the heater box on my 89 CV. Manual ATC, I can have the entire heater box out in about 2.5hrs.

          Looks like I may have to pull it out again and check the blend and recirc doors, I suspect they are broken or not moving fully.

            Isn't the phrase "manual ATC" an oxymoron?

                    I ended up dropping the column last time I messed with one. Made the job a good bit easier. Would have been easier still if I'd been smart and pulled the wheel first, and maybe the seats.

                      It was a test.... just to see if you were paying attention.

                      actually I meant to say manual HVAC or non-ATC sytem.

                          I do hate the way our HVAC plenums are secured to the firewall with those ghey stud things. I have yet to have one come apart nicely, and I have a large nut and bolt stuck through the drilled-out upper mount point to prove it.

                              Well, if everything is cooperating, the whole thing should unbolt from the inside. It just doesn't like to.
