According to this popular mechanics magazine, Ford owners were complaining about their heaters even in 1959: http://books.google.com/books?id=gtsDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA90&lpg=PA90&dq=1959+ford+fuel+economy&source=bl&ots=h2dpFswurl&sig=vkwP3efuKS_rTYkmV8N1OEfWkO4&hl=en&ei=vb3STKbRGISBlAfRuo3bDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CC8Q6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=1959%20ford%20fuel%20economy&f=falseStill, I have noticed that when I start the car first thing in the morning I hear a sloshing sound under the dash. Doesn't that sound usually indicate air pockets in the heater core, which can account for reduced heater effectiveness? If there IS air in the core, it is really stuck there, because I would think regular use would have worked it out by now otherwise. Any thoughts on how to bleed it?
