Heater core????

[70z4fun]

My series one car heater is not working. The valve has been replaced, and I suspect the heater core. It is not leaking, so I think I am going to pull it out and see what I have. Can a heater core be redone at a good radiator shop, or should I try to find a replacement? If so, who might have them. I will replace the valve again while I am there, I guess. Anything else I should do while there?

Any one have a good link to replacing a heater core? I have pulled it out before, but it has been a long time and I am much older now!

Thanks, and any advice is appreciated,

Bob

A good rad. shop can re-core it. I've always used Mac's in Portland but there must be a good shop in Bend or Redmond. Here's my tip. Pick up a mechanics pad at Harbor Freight. It's a trifold cushion about 5' long that makes everything much less painful. It also works great for under dash work if you remove the seat.

Series I heater cores are rare birds. Worth trying to save it if you can. From what you say, it appears to be clogged.
