I've only had one other car with a heater core problem and it was a
1979 Ford with a 302 V8. The same principles applied, though. Water
is routed through the heater core, which is really just another little
radiator. It radiates heat, which is used to heat the air that the fan
circulates. Come to think of it, I did have a different kind of
heating system in my 1970 VW fastback, but it had no radiator,
obviously.
