Libby is slowly coming back to life. Let her run the other day till up to a good operating temp and then tried the heat. Good pressure in the radiator hoses, fan works well after contacts cleaned and lubed. Problem is no heat.
The PO disconected the AC and wondering if he bunged something up. Are the heat settings (upper levers full to outside) independent of the temperature sensor for the AC (which I have found)?
I see three radiator lines going into the fire wall with a series of levers and assume I may have a problem here. BEFORE, I start taking it apart (at this rate, pretty soon all I will have left assembled will be the engine

) I would like to understand a little better how the system works,primarily if the AC disconnection has any effect on the heat system ( compressor is in the trunk disconnected ( why did'nt they just remove the belt??)
I don't really see any vacuum pods, but I may just not be looking in the right place.
