don't forget to put a restrictor in the inlet side. sometimes a socket jammed in the heater hose works as a substitute.

how do u know when its a blown heater core? My carpet under the dash is getting soaked in coolant, and a leak up by the firewall has occured. I was thinking busted rubber hoses, or the heater core. any ideas?
