Default heater not working?
Hey everyone. I just put the 383 back in my car and the heater doesn't get hot. The car has a stock thermostat in it and the engine get warm. Can you think of something I might have forgot? Maybe a vacuum line somewhere? Thanks

You probably need to flush the heater core. Coolant likes to coagulate when the hoses are open and exposed to air (like when your engine is out).

Ok I will try that. They were open for 2 years so that might be it

be careful fi those lines were open for 2 years. the core could have corroded, and may leak inside the car.
