I'm considering returning my heater unit to service on
my Savoy project, even though it would be a liitle
more weight down the track. This will be a
street/strip car and I may want to take it out on a
cold day. My heater box in the Savoy had been robbed
of the heater core, but I've already located a nice
heater box with core for replacement.
