Spent this evening getting the old heater core out, what fun! So whats the best replacement out there, also this is a SSP car that has had the core replaced before and who ever replaced it before did not put the restrictor back in, I will need to replace that as well.

The ONLY heater core to use is a factory Ford piece. Do you want to do this job again soon? Then spring for the factory stuff.

No, I do not want to do this job again soon, BUT I priced the OEM unit awhile back when I suspected it was leaking and they wanted a war pension for one

I went by the dealer today, they cut me a deal on one for $95.00


The right way is the only way, especially on something as big of a pain in the azz as this
