Coolant leak on passenger floorboard? - 01/01/12 10:28 PM
After driving my '73 Dart Sport 340 this morning, I noticed a pretty substantial coolant leak on the passenger side floorboard. What do you think -- does this sound like a heater core issue -- or something else? If it's related to the heater core, how big of a repair job is this? Hopefully I won't need to take the dash apart to get at it.
Also, this is a factory A/C car.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Get a kit from detroitmuscletechnologies.com - looks like you might have to email him, he doesn't have his 73+ A-body kits listed.

Not too sure about your weather but you could by-pass the heater core, at least until you fix it (if you want to keep driving it).

Yes bypass it on the eng side & pull the heater/ac box to get at the heater core.
