coolairguy Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hello everyone, I'm new here. I am in the process of purchasing a 1987 Avanti that needs a heater core and maybe an evaporator. I've read some messages in these forums that are scaring me off. Has anyone sucessfully changed done this or does anyone know a tech in the NY metro area that is capable of it. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyJimW Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I have a 87 Avanti and it looks like a big PITA, if I had to replace mine I would go with a better aftermarket kit like Vintage Air or Hod Rod Air. Good luck, Jim Wood Hello everyone, I'm new here. I am in the process of purchasing a 1987 Avanti that needs a heater core and maybe an evaporator.

Thank you in advance It's been 2 months now since I started (no 'experts' in Milwaukee would touch the job). It is a nightmare! The instructions I have to remove the evaporator say that after I remove 6 screws I should be able to wiggle the unit back & forth until the manual (hot/cold) vent door rod pulls out - not happening. If I could just get the evaporator out of the way I might be able to reach the heater core w/o further disassembly. 1988 coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance I had the complete system repaired in NJ. While the end result was great, the final price tag was an issue that almost got legal. I would suggest calling Dan Booth with Nostalgic Motors. He is detailed and informative. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
