Heater core replacement

[TTA976]

I will be installing the Spectra Heater core this weekend.

Rock Auto shows a seperate heater core seal. Napa "local" store do not list a seal.

Do you need the seal or does it come on the Spectra heater core?

Thanks

Have fun........

I used black silicone for my seal.

A real PITA job if I do say so myself. There's some pretty good write ups on some of the other boards, 3rd gen I think is where I got my info from. It's easier to take the passenger seat out instead of working around it. Eventually the whole center console has to come out to make room for the dash to move. Now I'm having flashbacks! :thumbdwn:

Wow - I did my 1982 TA and it wasn't that bad. The later dashes must be harder to do. On my 82 TA, the trim panel on the passenger comes off and there is an access panel for the heater core right there. A few bolts and the core is out.
