Hello,
My 79 has no factory AC.
P.O. had the car outside with no hood and no motor and no heater hoses for who knows how long. Factory heater core is brass/copper style, and looks kinda rough so I want to replace it.
Ordered first heater core, and it would not fit.
That big rubber gasket that wraps all around the heater core will not fit due to the shape of the rear of the heater core. This will not allow the cover on the back of the heater box to fit. (Too long)
I figured that I had ordered the wrong one, so I went to LMR where the picture seems correct for my big rubber gasket to fit. I almost fell over when I opened the box that came today and it is the same damn heater core as the first one.
I’m kinda pissed since the picture shows a different shape heater core than the one I received.
I do not want to cut up my original gasket if possible.
Is there a source for a 79 non-AC heater core that will actually fit? I saw some on eBay but they were very expensive and didn’t look much better than my original.
Any help would be great thanks!
