Denise, this is where I first noticed the leak in my heater core. I had
to drill out some of the screws. PB Blaster can be found at a NAPA
parts store. When you try getting out the screws use a pozi-drive screw
driver rather than a phillips screw driver. Putting in a new heater is
a non-fun job. Trying to reattach the cable to the flapper door is
almost impossible with it in place. The solution is to release it from
the control knob on the dash, attach it to the flapper door before you
install the heater core housing and feed it back thru with a helper
pulling it thru from the inside and then reattach it to the control knob
on the dash. Good luck. Don '69 MGB

Hi all,
While discovering that my carbs need to be rebuilt again, I noticed that the
heater core shroud is wet around the lower heater hose but the hose looks good.
For those of you who have already had this problem, where does the coolant first
appear when the core starts to leak? Is this the spot?
A corollary question is: where do I get this PBBlaster stuff? The screws
holding the heater shroud down have never been off so I might as well start
soaking them now.
