So today I picked up some new fuel filter filters for Wilbur. Seems like the last bago I helped rescue needed a few new ones.
Then I went all out and replaced the heater under the dash in Wilbur. This last year I had taken my original heater out, cleaned up the motor and even though it ran great when I tested it, after using it for 1/2 hour it smelled like a hot electric motor and ran slower and slower.
So when I came across a '68 Bago being torn apart this last year I took the heater. Back then they used 2 motors in the heater box. One for the defroster and one for the heat. A new motor for my heater, there was only the one, was going to cost $250.00 so today I took out the original one and put the new (1968) heater in. I think the heater core is not leaking, but then it will probably only leak at the most inopportune time.
The fans sound good and I only need to run a few new duct hoses to the defrost vents. This might be a good upgrade especially if my wife stays warm on those cool days of traveling.
