+1 heater core is bad it under the dash you can jerry rig it by bypassing the heater before it goes into the firewall, or fix it 50 bux and about a day of taking the dash out to get to the heaterbox

I know on the four eye stangs if it's a non a/c car you can just drop the glove box and there it is.

good luck either way. definitely just bypass it so u can still push it .
