My problem is that I use Web TV to cruise the web and can't send pic's to this forum like you guys with real computors, but what I can do is take photos with my dig. camera and send them one at a time to a regular e-mail address, if you want send me a private message with a e-mail address and I'll send you the photo's and maybe you can post them.anips 38945.3509953704

...guys I got the saaame problem with the heat blast on my 74. I have A/C, techniquely, but it's been disconnected... Now what happened yesterday is a new one on me..... while cruising on the interstate at around 75, smoke/anti freeze fumes came pouring through the center windshield dash vents!!! Out of nowhere the corkpit filled in a matter of 20 seconds with this anti-freeze fog; couldn't see two inches from my face!
MAY DAY, MAYDAY!! Houston we have a problem!!! Pulled to the shoulder, bailed out, opened the hood expecting to see leaks all over the place - Negative, dry as a bone. 
The temp on the gauges never went or ever go over 195+ deg.

Any suggestions..... heater core?? After getting her home in the garage I checked for signs of leaks in/on the firewall, interior and in the engine compartent, again negative................................thinking of installing the shut-off value system mentioned on the forum (never need heat anyway, live in Florida) but before I do that, I must address this anti-freeze blast issue.....................any help would be appreciated.
