Santa drives a dent !!

From the movie Fatman starring Mel Gibson that is currently playing/streaming. Mel plays old St. Nick and his daily driver is a 78/79 dent ! (best parts of the movie are the truck scenes IMO)





Note: In some of the interior scenes it shows a "HIGH OUTPUT HEATER" tag just above the radio / below the HVAC controls which I'd never seen before. Was that legit and if so, what was the magic behind it?

What was the difference between a "regular" output and High heater? (different heater core, fan, ???)

HO heater used a heater case and core from an early '70s Mustang.

From a long time ago and I am sure the inventory #'s has changed....
"For anyone looking for a brass/copper core advanced auto part number 398304 is the correct one. It is also the same core that fits early, 68'ish mustangs. Laurel Mountain Mustang (permanently closed down 2016?)
Part number just in case it is needed in the future:
For A/C 18476-1A
For non A/C 18476-2
Also NAPA but makes sure and ask are they aluminum or copper? Copper is what you want.
Heater core, high output heater C6OZ-18476-B
Antique Auto Supply, Arlington, TX (817) 275-2381
Wesley Obsolete Parts, Liberty, KY (606) 787-5293
Dennis Carpenter, Concord, NC (704)786-8139) also has 1 but they have it listed under C60Z-18476-B, the third digit is "zero" instead of the correct letter "O".
Additional C6
OZ-18476-B heater core applications:
1966/70 Falcon w/o A/C / 1966/72 Fairlane/Torino w/o A/C / 1971/73 Mustang/Cougar w/o A/CHeater core w/ factory A/C or hi-low comfort vent system
D3TZ-18476-A
Std Heater core
D3TZ-18476-C
