Steve,
I caught it. Many thanks.

Strange thing here in in mid-Canada we have not seen temps over 80*F as a pattern. As I write it is 77*F. Weird. Normally in the high 80s. I may give a call to Al Gore to see if he can get the global warming back on track.

Yes, I like to find out how to get a pair, so I can put them back on my 65 Coupe. I remembers seeing yours back some months. Any idea's how I could get a set ? Thanks, Tim

Not this one.. Coupes rock..

go to auto supply. ask for shout off valve for heater hose. got one on mine, and no heat problem!!!!!! most people don't believe this will do the trick, but it does!!!!

ucc2ic65

Ditto here. I would be interested in a set if anyone is interested in making sets. PM me if additional information is available.

I got the feeling with my car it was seeping through small holes in the firewall rather than radiation, but who knows. My wife won't ride with me anymore, but it has nothing to do with the heat in the cockpit.

Simple question. Does it matter which hose is installed on? My guest is the hose that exits the water pump into the firewall.

Take heater hose off the top, run it to the bottom.

You don't need a heater.

Hi Paul, Water from where? Do you drive your car in the rain??????

Took mine out on Sunday and they do get a little warm inside. I just open up the vent windows all the way plus pull open the outside vents under the dash. Without A/C its the best you can do. Sunday it was in the 90's a hot and humid day anyway here in New Jersey. Most cars without A/C will feel extra hot on these kind of days. Don't know where you are from since you haven't filled out your profile. Its a good idea to do so especially if you are looking to buy parts or need services done and need a recommendation. Some forum members won't bother with new members who don't fill out their profile.

As Vark stated, you have to make a template and find a machine shop with a louver machine. The louvered splash shields are not commercially available.

Hi
To check if your getting heat from the heater core drive along once the car has warmed up, put your hand at the heat duct, while moving along. If heat is come out at more then just a slight hint of heat, then the rubber in the heater box is shot or the doors the duct the heat are messed up. When I restored my car I put heat barrier down on the floor and re-did the rubber in the heat box. Now car is cool as can be. No more heat from the floor or the heat box. Here in New England we still need the heater every now and then.

Side exhaust makes a huge difference in lowering interior temps, couple that with good insulation vented pans and a heater cutoff and the car will be livable.

I'd find a younger, more heat resistant woman

It goes in the 5/8" hose from the intake manifold to the bottom core nipple; that's where the factory put it on A/C cars.

I had a lot of interior heat but with the following steps it was drasticly reduced:

(1) Installed Dynamat inside (it really is a sound deadner)


(2) Got Frost King Insulation from Home-Depot


(3) Installed Frost-King underneath


(4) Got Splash Shields louvered

Pardon my ignorance. For a non/AC 1967. Are people saying there is free flow of coolant through the heater core with the heater settings off? This may be my heat problem.

Soppeng gave me a paper but that valve setup is identical to the one I use to cut off water from the basement to the garage when it is -25F in winter using 1/2" copper and numerous fittings. There must be something a little more simpler out of NAPA.

JohnZ

Yes, there is full flow of hot coolant through the heater core at all times in a non-A/C midyear, regardless of the heater control settings; non-A/C cars have no valve in the coolant circuit - that's why the inside heater box feels hot all the time - radiated heat from the hot core. NAPA has LOTS of "heater control valves" in their catalogs.

JAF1

Yes. Coolant is always moving though. On the A/C cars, when the A/C is turned on the valve shuts off the flow of coolant. I leave mine hooked up. I like the fact it provides an little extra source of cooling. I would also be concern about not having coolant flow though it for an extend period then trying to hook it back up again later and maybe have a leak. But if it's too hot inside, shutting it off will definitely cool things down. Probably a valve you could leave open and just close on the really hot days would be a good compromise.

ctjackster

All these years spent putting my 65 back to original, and now I just stepped toward my Bubba certificate and ordered a shut off valve to take my heater core out of the system in the summer, that sucker really does radiate the heat and I have finally said enough is enough.

Watch me cringe as I slice into the oh-so-correct lower heater hose
