we're already doing it the alternative way. Factory manual says to remove the air plenum and pull the whole thing from under the dash. I've never done this, but I know how that plenum is attatched in there, and it looks like a real disaster. Lots of vacuum lines to pull and other stuff. That, and it involves laying on the floor of the car for a long period of time.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

much easier way
unbolt steering column, disconect gear indicator....lay on seat
remove dash pad, kick panels, pillar panels, disconnect speedo cable
unbolt lower dash support bolts, unbolt heater box, remove rest of the screws holding the dash......lay the dash on your lap, pull the heater box out a little and change the heater core and reassemble.

oh, heater cores in these cars are no fun at all
I had my uncle do mine...most of the interior(dash/steering column) had to be removed...but he's a pro, he did a great job.
our Mark V was really easy..he did that too...just open the hood and its right there...he had it done in like 20mins...he said it was the easiest he'd ever done....now I wish I had a Mark V.....wait...I do have one...its my dad's but I take care of it most of the time.sigpic

The old cars like the Torino and similar are cake, just unscrew a plate and there you go. Shame they aren't still that way, then nobody would care about the core failing.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
