1977 fiat 124 spider

Asked by Fiatguy124 Dec 31, 2016 at 10:06 AM about the 1977 FIAT 124 Spider

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I was driving my car and I heard a hissing sound
and the next thing I knew the cabin was filled with
smoke and I could smell, and taste, that it was
heated coolant that turned into a gas. I followed the
trail and it is coming from the passenger side up
under the dash where all the wires are coming from.
I really need this answer ASAP and I don't know
what could be happening

Heater core or heater hose is bad. Most likely it is the heater core.
