Re: Need help with heat, children are freezing!

I traded a bug for a galaxie once on the coldest night in a long time, -17 wind chills. My wife and daughter agreed to the trip across town in the bug, with its meted allowance of hot air heating (no coolant lines were backwards!), because the galaxie was advertised as having a 390 and a heater that would "melt yer face". After a lukewarm trip out west, we started for home and....

the heat did not work. our breath was freezing on the inside of the windshield, my daughter and the dog huddled in the back seat, and we froze all the way home. The next day I called the guy to chew him out and it turns out if you turned on the dealer installed AC, it would bypass the heater with nice fresh air from outside.
