#227382 my eg i believe has a motor blower and i'm assuming it has the heater core too, but the hose lines to the firewall is not hooked up. Just wondering what else would i need besides just straight plugging the lines to the firewall?

#227389 did you buy it that way?if you did there might be a reason why the heater core was bypassed,before i hook it back up i would take a trip to your'e local junk yard and get another heater core just in case the one in your'e car is bad and you end up with antifreeze or water all over the interior of the car

#227482 Either the heater core was leaking inside like the last guy said or it jus block altogether in which case if u did hook it bak up ur cars is gonna overheat so I wud get another heater core either way

#227509 well i checked the firewall, and one of the pipes that hook up with the radiator hose was rusted and kinda bent. I'm guessing the heater core is fine and that was the problem that kept the previous owner from hooking it up. Do i need to buy a valve adjustment or whatever it's called to connect to the radiator hose and then to the fire wall?
