If I could find something that wasn't permanent (i.e. sticky) I'd be more up for it. I want it to be removable just in case.Originally Posted by lostforawhile
Oh, it's removable all right. Removable with a caustic two-stage, carcinogenic stripper, 3" angle grinder, blow torch and cold chisel with 3# sledge hammer.
No sweat!

LOL! So you get what I mean then...
Okay I finally refilled the coolant in the car, bled it all out and tested everything...
And NOTHING worked.
Then I noticed there was no vacuum to any of the solenoids. I traced the lack of vacuum back to a check valve that I had installed backwards. As soon as I flipped it around everything came alive!!! All the vents started working just as they should! I made a video of it's operation and it's uploading right now. It's all fixed, it's been so long I'm so happy! Now I just gotta put the dash all back in. What a project...
Well here's a link to the video. It's still processing as I type this, but I'm sure by the time anybody gets to click it, it will be good to go...

Damn dude that shit looks new. Nice work!
What's jute? That decomposed foam crap on the AC vents or that fibreous stuff under the carpets and such?
I need to put a screen on the auto, find out why it leaks in rain (not the drain tube), and clean the leaves and whatever else those packrat bastards stuffed in there. Smells like dog food and ass everytime it rains. Killed 9 in a row in the same trap with no bait. Thought I solved the problem with all the yard work and shit, just wound up concentrating them near the house I guess... Nice work.

CARDONE SUCKS.
jute is the cotton like heavy crap they put behind the carpet and dash pad, it absorbs odor like a sponge
thats awesome, i would love to see if mine works that well with the dash out right now, maybe ill do what you did with the sil glyde, good work man.
thanks mkymonkey
Super awesome 2ndGen. I was watching that video thinking, damn this is cool when I realized what a nerd I am for sitting here ooing and ahing over heater doors.
God I need a life...

Haha me too. I was like ooh look at that door opens by itself by a push of a button!
But that sure is a cool video!
I know how you guys feel. I was geeking out watching them work in the car.
well i have a drink holder that works on vaccume, i got like a thousand views on you tube with that one.must somehow induce a trance in people, ooooo it moves and no ones touching it!! wooooow!!
they aren't the same, you might want to hang on to it,i couldn't find ANYONE who could even order an 84 one
I just ordered mine from NAPA. They even had it in stock. Hmm... to hold, or not to hold... I hang onto too much shit already...

That's a good question sir. I haven't taken it out and driven ityet. Work got crazy the last couple weeks. And I haven't touched the car since getting the dash in. Though I've got some plans tonight, since I'm getting out early. I'll let you know!
Thats sweet john. looking good man.

Oh yeah thanks for bumping the thread. Yeah last I drove the car, the whole heating system worked great. Like brand new! Actually, it only worked the first week I had the car, so it was like nothing I've ever had!
awesome! driven past any stinky dumps or cow pastures? did it keep the smell down a BIT?
