I’m late seeing this thread, if I remember Correctly you need to remove the bolts that hold the back of the seat on and insert the pins in first, then lean the back forward till the bolt will go back in. It’s been about 7 years since I had mine out but that’s what I remember.

Here's a not so good picture from the "green bible".

Good job Dan, I was going out to my shop and uncove mine. I've seen several plumbed different than mine, It shouldn't matter which way the water passes through the heater core as long as it flows.

The hose from the head should go to the valve, then valve to heater core then core to water pump.

One hose should go to the heater core and one hose to the control valve, the "u" hose goes between the valve and heater core. If the heater works it's probably right.

You can't beat a shoebox! Nice car!

There's no way I would loan my car for a movie, I worked to long and hard to get it like it is. I would probably drive it myself if they needed cars on the street, I bet no one on the set would know how to drive a overdrive anyway.

Only the moderator can delete the thread but you can edit it. You can hit the edit option and back space everything and then type removed.

I can't think of anything that would be different, maybe the arm the cable connects to? Maybe someone with a 51 will respond.

Is a Ford heater the same? I saw several on eBay last week. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1950-1951-Ford-Magic-Air-Heater-Assembly-Dated-March-23-1950/352816870742?hash=item5225863556:g:R4oAAOSwECNdBBxB

Learning that others think you’ve done a good job restoring your car.

I should have a brick in their sidewalk with my name on it, I feel like I've spent enough to pay for one!

No problem, sometimes you have to work with what you have. I've noticed that the heater core still gets warm from heat transfer through the coolant on the return line, that's the reason for dual cutoffs under the hood. When it gets 95° here I need all the cool air I can get.

Correct, if you don't get every piece of the duct work you have to do what I did.

On mine I have used the right hole for my fan switch, I installed the same knob on both. I got the push pull switch from NAPA I think.
