Normal heat?
I recently replaced my heater core and Rad in my 90 GTA and I noticed tonight that under the dash on the passenger side close to the radio is very hot and no-where else under the dash is even near as hot as that area. I had the window defroster on full blast. It is the area right in-front of the heater core. Also i noticed that even with the blower off and vents closed i can still feel heat coming around my feet from the vents down to the floor. is this normal? Help greatly appreciated

I've also noticed that the radio pod area gets very hot, but always thought that it was just heat from the radio. I have noticed that it gets hotter at night when the light are on. Never caused a problem so i haven't worried about it.

mine's always radiating heat out the vents whether it's set to hot or cold, fan on or off. really only bothers me on hot hot summer days.

Re: Normal heat?
Well it is circulating hot coolant through there after all.
I believe that MAX A/C blocks off the heater core. NORM, Bi-level, and VENT don't. Should stay cooler around the radio area that way.
