Re: Heat, or lack of...

Ok, so I talked with my dad this evening. He asked if a piece from the old thermostat fell in when I took out the parts. I said I didnt think so, but then I thought about it.

Is there a little like fan blade on the stock thermostats? IIRC, I think (when mine was still in one piece) there was a little ^ facing toward the front of the car on the end of it. I didn't see it when I took out the thermostat.

So he thinks that something may have fallen in. Also, he asked how the heater system works. I personally dont know, even thought Im looking at the book right now. He said he remembers that older cars used to have the coolant go through like a "side" piece where the heat from it would warm up whatever and then goto the heater core, like right before the firewall. Is there something like this there? I'm going to try a flush, but I have NO time at all for awhile, till possible saturday.
