[Mgs] back on the road

Good deal, Paul. I was able to clear out an area in my garage so I can hopefully get back to my '76. Found most of my tools, too. I suspect you won't be needing the heater much, although around here, we're finally in that weird stage where the temp goes up 30 degrees during the day, so it's very cool in the am (40's) and very warm in the pm (70's).

Subject: [Mgs] back on the road

finally made time this weekend and got the heater installed and the  
dash put in.

I found that once everything was buttoned up the dash, that I don't  
have the heater valve dial hooked up.
Joy everything has to come back apart. Not today. In the mean time, I  
just have the valve all the way open.

Took it for a bout a 30 minute drive this evening. Temperature stayed  
normal or less. So I'm satisfied that
I've got enough coolant in it. I was concerned about getting the  
heater core filled back up, but it seems good.

I put a new radio in, it's pretty nice. more power than the old one,  
and the unit is smaller and fits great. I can
even get my hand in behind it. The nicest part is that the wires have  
a plug into the back, so you can get it out easily
enough.

It's a JVC KD-APD38 comes with an iPod cable. 50Wx4. I got it for $79.  
It's $99 right now from Newegg.

I believe I'll be driving it into work tomorrow. About time we got  
some decent weather.

Paul.
