When I "restored" my heater I pulled it all apart and pressure tested the core under water. All seemed good but it leaked immediately upon re-installation.. I took it to a radiator shop and he found two leaks. I ended up just buying a new core.  I also had the motor refurbished by an old school electric motor guy. It now works perfectly and throws a surprising amount of heat.

I really advocate the gold hammered like I think was factory. Thought it would look stupid but it turned out great and everyone comments on it. It may be worth having the core boiled if you haven't, tried using and old one and it never worked but a clean core puts out great heat.

Ok, thanks. I knew I had seen them for sale somewhere, but couldn't remember.

There just has to be an easier way to get it back in....maybe I'll "practice" a couple of times before I paint it....!

I did not have to cut mine at all. Perhaps a PO did but I don't think so. I think it was an original install. I've had it in and out twice now. It's tight but it fits.

You don't want to cut off too much and end up with too short of ends.  ;)

I'm beginning to to think that I just don't need a heater at all....or I'll cut the core tubes as Nate did before trying to wedge that thing back in........as it was I bent the end of one of the tubes getting it out.

At least the fan works.... I have that same switch as Ryan_M has......


That switch was recently purchased from Walck's. I damaged the original one in a repair effort (I'm pretty good at that). It is still on the to-do list for some day when I am really bored.

I would say they were more patient back then.  ;)

I'd like to know too! I had to cut a 1/2" off the ends of the heater core tubes to get mine back in.
