reproduction heat ducts


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

In the quest for heat I took the dash and heater core out of the car. Found that mice and squirrels had made a nice little nest for me inside the core and blower motor. Took everything apart, cleaned everything, got it all working again, minus the fact that the brittle ducts from the blower to the core and the blower to the dash vents all broke and are completely useless. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I looked through Black Dragon's catalog and didn't see anything. Does anyone make reproduction ducts, or should I get creative with some Lowe's home heating ducts?

Go to NAPA and ask them about heater ducting. I got two boxes of heater duct for pretty cheap, and it seems like better quality than the original. Have had no problems so far, and its been several months worth of use. Just bring a fitting or measure the inner diameter of the stock ducting so you can give them the proper size you need.

http://www.vintageair.com, http://www.hotrodair.com, http://www.jcwhitney.com and many others supply basic ducting. The biggest problems will be the center duct and the blower/heater core pieces. They are oddball shaped requiring a little finesse to work around. That said, I might have much of what you need or you could give Todd Wagner a call at Tidewater Z Auto Service in Poquoson, Virgina at 1-757-868-6753. He has a stockpile of good parts and can probably help you too.
