Well guess what Dave? I am severely rusted above, so on my van there is access. Should I put steel wool in there?

I've searched this thread but haven't seen these holes addressed.

I'm in the middle of converting my 1984 to the newer heater box. I've opened up the oval ports and capped off the round ports. It looks like same hoses are used, but I'm not positive. Can anyone confi ...

Waldo, that's a great suggestion. Unfortunately I don't have an existing grommet to add sealant to.

Mark provided a link to the replacement part above.

To the OP, I'd just squirt a bit of sealan ...

Thanks, Mark. That's what I was looking for.

Try this.

While doing the brake booster upgrade, I had the opportunity to look straight down through the pedal box where the hydraulic tubing for the clutch goes through the floor.

There's quite a large open ...

I removed my pedal assembly by pulling it out from the top since my dash is out doing a booster upgrade and heater box refurbish.

I expected to have to address the elongated hole in the clutch peda ...

After more testing I can concur with everyone who responded that a battery charger is not a good source of 12V. A real battery is required.

Another question regarding my particular van. After looki ...

Thanks for the reply Dan.

Is a 12V battery charger a good source of 12V for bench testing or should I acquire a battery to supply 12V?

I have added the Jeep resistor as part of a heater box rebuild, along with a new fan motor. One item to disclose up front. I've been bench testing with a 12V battery charger set on the lowest of the t ...

One last question, rev. I'll need to open up the blocked oval ports somehow, say drill some through holes and then dremel out the rest, correct?

And then block the round ones also.

So it's an ...

Thanks for the reply erste. I'll check both of those tips out.

So it's an either/or situation. You're either using the circular ports or the oval ports, not both at the same time?

Bump. Can anyone give me the skinny on these two blocked off oval ports?

Thanks Mark. I'll probably end up doing just that. There's an Ace Hardware in town that has a good assortment of odds and ends like that.

I'm a lazy ass though and would rather point and click and ...

I understand your point but this isn't a grommet for the wire. It's for the antenna shaft. For me it would be simpler if I could find the grommet.

Why bother? This isn't a 12v wire and so no pos ...
