Krister, You're probably right. I didn't think to check my assembly manual, but I'll do that when I get home. For some reason I assumed the blower resistor was on the firewall near the blower motor. As for the heater core, I purchased it off of Ebay. I'll check the manufacturer when I get home. I did a dry fit this weekend when I had the heater box out and it seemed to fit fine. Everything lines up perfectly, even the hold down clips.

Rob, I believe you are talking about the blower motor resistor. They are available with and with out AC through many of the parts catalogs. I've seen them in Year One, OGP, NPD and Classic Muscle. They come integrated with the card board insulator as you were asking about. There mounted on the heater box as they can get red hot depending on what speed the blower switch is set to. Let us know how well the after market heater core fits. I went to replace my original Harrison last year and the new core has a slightly different tank profile - making the original hold down clips useless. I still have yet to make custom hold down clips and its only cold in October - as my Chevelle hibernates November - April.

The thermostat that sits in the heater box is mounted on a piece of cardboard-like material. When removing the heater box this cardboard was very brittle and practically disintegrated. Is there any place to buy a replacement thermostat? Has anyone else run into this problem before? Its probably not difficult to make a new mounting piece, but given the age, maybe its better to replace the thermostat. Thanks. Rob S.
