Re: heater coil - Evaoprator replacement1.doc (0/1)
Steve I found a doc. I wrote to someone who wanted to replace their
evaporator. The heater core is in the heater box, and I replaced mine when I replaced the evaporator. You might think about doing the same because you will have to get the AC evacuated and recharged.

Dave, this is a text only group. My server even cut your attachment
post right out. You need to store the doc someplace and post a link to it. Lots of us use alt.binaries.pictures.autos.4x4 for binaries and attachments. It is a seldom used group.
