kreed Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) I am repainting my 66 GS and have it pretty much torn apart. The heater has not been working well so I thought while I have it part, I Would change the heater core . It is a non AC car . The only ones I can find don't look like they would work as my inlet and outlet hoses are far apart in the heater box . What I am missing . Never done this before . See pics below .Probably obvious to the real experts but I don't want to order the wrong thing . Thanks for the advice . KReed ROA 14549 PS . That is not my engine bay but hope it will look that good when I get done .

steelman Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Ken, if you have the old one in hand it is best to take it to a radiator shop and have it recored. They will put your tanks on a new core and when you get it back you know it fits because it is the one that came out of the car. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Great suggestion ! Didn't enter my mind they could recore it. Thanks much . KReed ROA 14549 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Yep - recore - New replacements aren't available for non-A/C cars...…. at least they weren't a year or so ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For almost anything automotive and of a certain age, if someone will rebuild it you are better off going that way than trying to replace it.
