Hey Folks, Were can I find a complete set of instructions for replacing the heater core in my 86 GT? I know this will be a job but I have no choice. Any help will be useful.

Pick up a Chilton or Haynes manual. Those will have the it in there step by step.

i beleive that 79-86 w/o a/c can be accessed through the glove box, with out removing the entire dash, i'm 99% posistive 86 is included in this... there should be a panel that can be unscrewed and removed and its right there! but yes for detailed instructions a ford shop manual or haynes would be best... good luck

I have AC, of course nothing the easy way. Thanks for the posts guys!

86 model is easier, you can slide heatercore out thru glovebox hole on the 4 eyes.
no need to remove dash.

R U serious? The dash doesnt have to come off?? What do you mean by "glovebox hole on the 4 eyes?

take out your glove box, and there will be an access panel to get to the heater core.... i thought it was only for non A/C but i could be mistaken... look into it! Your car has 4 headlights, thats why they call them 4 eyes, 79-86!
