Please excuse me if these questions sound dumb,but this is my first attempt at 'restoring' any car,let alone a Mustang,so most of it is new to me.When it's complete,I'm going to post some before and after pics of my first effort for all to see.(Although I'm not doing any of the bodywork :-) )
I have taken 5 pictures of the items in question,and will post them here when i can get the damn FTP program to work again.
- I am cleaning up the dash area of my 69 FB which means taking it apart so i can clean and paint it.There are a couple things i noticed which i would like to identify. Right behind the glove box,which i took out,there is a big black plastic box which i assume is the heater assembly box.On this are 2 levers,which look almost like handles,and they both turn by half to 3 quarters of a turn. I want to know what they are for.You can see these in the first picture.The third picture is similar but is pulled back to give a better view of the location.
- On the right side of the heater assembly box,there are some white printed letters/numbers.What does this signify? You can see this in the second picture.
- This car came with factory A/C apparently,which has since been removed.Look at picture 4,in between the heater controls and the defroster nozzles,there is what looks like a forward facing vent.There is no hole on the dashpad to make this visible when the dashpad is fitted. Is it meant to be visible,or only if A/C is fitted ? Maybe the dashpad was changed to a non A/C pad ?
- I noticed a leak coming from underneath the heater assembly,which can be seen in pictures 3 and 5. Its leaking a greenish-yellow oily liquid.Not much but enough to be visible,and you can see where it has run down the floor. It's coming from a small nozzle sticking out the left underside as you look at it from the front,next to where the passengers left foot would be.
Any help or answers to these questions is appreciated as ever !!
