    Does anyone have a picture of the intake and waterpump area of an original heater delete car? Would like to see the heater delete plugs and clamps used. Thanks.

    We have a number of Mustangs an with heater delete systems in Hawaii as many were originally shipped here without heater systems and the customer was given a $50 credit. I will try to get photos. The water pump and intake are:thumbup: capped with rubber plugs with the standard Ford clamp.

    Hello, 66GT350PS, I was born and raised in hawaii but i now live i Las Vegas. I now own two 66 mustangs one a coupe and the other a GT fastback i want to make a GT350 clone out of it. I was part of the Aloha Mustang club from 1996-98. 98 till i moved up here. My old 66 coupe had heater delete too, but i dont know how the firewall was closed up never realy needed to look..lol. The water pump was capped so was the intake. Aloha, Mike :thumbsup:

    There is an odd shaped piece of sheet metal.. it is not flat :angry: it fills the hole in the firewall where the heater would have been... it is a VERY hard part to find (made of solid unobtanium) I had one from a Group II sedan carcass... I gave it to a shelby owner.. free. Somehow the idea of having a car that you like to drive that has no radio or heater seems to me to be flawed logic. Kind of like shooting big guns and not wearing ear plugs..

    I only listen to the radio when I am stuck in traffic . I only turn on the heater when it is cold, or when the windshield fogs up. I must be a sissy.:p

    Do you own a real GT350?,Then your the man. I live in Las vegas and the past 8yrs all my 6 cars except my wifes car has A/Cand heater. I can handle the dryheat and cold up here but she cant. My car in hawaii had no A/C or heater the humidity killed us, Boy did it suck:thumbdown foggy windows and hot as hell we sweated all the time. MIke

    Since Ford used plugs in the water pump and intake manifold for heater delete cars, is there a reason they didn't just loop a hose between the 2 connections? I'va always done it that way, and am now wondering if that is a bad idea for some reason.

    Hello 56ace,
    I think the cooling is more efficient without the loop, being that the coolant will route through the radiator rather than acting as another bypass.

    I have a picture of the original firewall cap for the blower motor and the heater hose hole caps but can't paste the pic in this reply. Anyone know how?

    I placed the pictures in the Photos section of this site. Just click on Photos/Member Galleries/choose C for page, then ccarccrazy pics or search by heater delete.

    I would guess that Paradise Wheels has a heater delete kit as the have
    been reproducing all of the R-Model specific pieces for quite awhile.
