IML: Heater Cores

["Eric" <gearhead@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim, heater cores for my '64 Crown Coupe are non-existant so a radiator shop 
convinced me to go with a built up core that is made up with the more stout 
finned tubing used in radiators. They took measurements of my old core and 
cut end plates to match. It works fine and fit like it should in it's 
holder. This was a radiator shop in business for 25+ years who said they 
preferred to make up heater cores this way. I don't know it's just easier in 
some manner to manufacture them like this, or if it produces a more sturdy 
core. They implied the latter. $130 or so and no more steam rising off the 
carpet.

Subject: IML: 73 Heater Core
Hello all,
I have been trying to locate a heater core for my 73
LeBaron without much success. Would rather not have my
old one reworked.
Before I spend alot of time and long distance calling
the vendors on the website I wanted to ask the
fuselage gang if anyone has ever purchased a new one
and where did they get it? Judging by the reviews I
guess I should stay away from Atlas Obsolete Parts.
Thanks,
Tim Durrer
