Re: [Amc-list] 63 american heater core

I would look carefully at what condtion the rest of the system is in.
If ANY of it failed inspection I'd toss it and go aftermarket.
Your looking at about $50 more for a modern more compact box.
You can also just pull that one and get one "close enough" seal the gaps with Foam epdm or metal or abc plastic sheet and foam.
 Or figure that $125 is the easiest way to fix it and just grin and bear it!
