Re: [Amc-list] 63 american heater core

[Peter Marano <PMarano@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I needed a heater core for a 1960 F600 and found it wasn't 
available I used a similiar sized core and modified the tubes with 
copper fittings from the hardware store.  I am thinking I stumbled on 
the corect sized core, perhaps there are not to many sizes.
