Andrew,
What a great story. Sounds like a great find. So...as always, an ending and a
new begining. Good luck. Oh, do you still need a heater core. I have remove
the whole enchalada from my 1600 and have no plans to reinstall it. I just have
the core and all the associated parts, hoses and valves in a cardboard box in my
garage.
Good luck with your new roadster.
