I recently purchased a 69 tr6. It has turned into a great daily driver except for one problem, the heater. The heater does a terrible job of warming the car and defrosting the windshield. My old Land Rover is far warmer. Granted the soft top doesn’t seal perfectly, but even at low speeds the car never really warms up all that much. The defroster has very weak airflow. The dash vents are better, but the blow only moderately warm air. Just enough to keep it warmer than the outside but not comfortably warm. I checked the heater flap adjustment on the heater box and it appears to be working fine. Next I back flushed the core with a garden hose for 20 mins. This made little to no difference. A new thermostat also had little effect. The heater hoses warm up, but the air in the core just doesn’t seem to take the heat. Is the heater in the tr6 really this poor? Has anyone else had similar problems? Anyway, thanks for your time.
