I noticed one day when running the engine, I turned the heater fan on and the whole car filled up with fog. When I installed the heater I thought that the old core would be OK, but have learned that unless it was flushed and neuturalized, they are not reusable after storage. It took 3 hours to remove, crack open the case, install the new core and reinstall it.

 

I am having a problem with the suspension, as can be seen in these front/rear wheelwell pictures. At first I thought it was that the front springs where to strong, so I got a correct set, but that did not make much of a differance. The front springs compress a few inches when I let the jack down, but they don't move much more than that, even when pushing down on the front. I now suspect that one ore more of the replacement parts I got are the wrong ones.

I am sure I will find some more problems when I continue the shake-down runs this summer.
