Heater core
« on: March 10, 2025, 04:40:33 AM »
Hi guys……the heater core needs to be changed on my 67 SB/non-AC car. I’m not excited about going aftermarket. Can my original Harrison one be repaired by a a radiator shop? Is anyone familiar with the process?

This makes me nervous as I feel like if the original material rotted away in the first place won’t this happen again almost immediately? How much of it is replaced?

This being said…..anyone have a good shop recommendation? I’d rather ship
it to the right people then have to do this job 3 times.
