Guest martylum Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hi-my 53 Buick V-8 heater core is leaky and I would like to find a good used or NOS core to replace mine.thanksMarty Lummarty@oldercar.com717-729-4080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retirednow Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) I have one that I was told came out of a '53. I can't find a part # on it. It just says HARRIS HC 05 57 57B Also, the nipples look inverted from the parts book illustration, so I don't know what it's for Edited April 5, 2014 by retirednow (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martylum Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Retired--thanks for responding but I don't think the hose connections and screw connection are in the right place for a 53 Model.Marty Lum1953 Model 76 V-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martylum Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Retired-on second thought it might work on my heater core box. If you rotate your picture 90 degrees to the right the width from hose pipe to hose pipe is 10" horizontally C to center on my heater core. Might be helpful to have the overall width and height too.Marty lummarty@oldercar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retirednow Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I'll measure it in a little while. I had bought it for my '52 but the hose pipes are different ( the pipe on the left looking at my picture would be on top and the pipe on the right would be on the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retirednow Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Ok, center of hosepipe to hosepipe is 9". The core is 6 1/2 " h by 10" w and the sheet metal piece screwed to it is 10 3/4" w by just under 8 1/2" h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rancor valve could be the culprit. A frequent advertiser/seller/re-builder/repair specialist for them, listed in HMN and on Ebay is Joe Hudacek, Telephone Area Code Seven One Five, 392.616 Nine. You might want to give him a call.Al MalachowskiBCA #8965"500 Miles West of Flint" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
