this topic might have been addressed, but here goes. I have an A/C car (68 300). heater core is shot. I can only find non AC Heater Core replacements. AC is shot anyway. Will the Non AC Heater Core work?

Those heater cores & A/C condensers are pretty heavy & thick and can be repaired, unlike the all aluminium ones on newer cars. Is there a radiator shop in or near your hometown? Those places can test & repair your heater core & possibly your A/C evap core as well. Hope this info helps. Good luck.

If its twin core on your car...when its recored, make sure that if they replace the rubber pipe that joins both cores, they use the imperial size hose (5/8 I think) and not the modern metric equivilent (16mm). It will leak no matter how tight the clip is. The internal bore of the pipe cannot be compressed, it just distorts and leaks when hot. Yup....got the skinned knuckles and stiff neck to prove it.....
