Brass Heater Core

[Local Hero]

Who offers a brass replacement heater core for these cars. All I'm finding locally are aluminum and reviews state that the fit isn't all that good.

Anyone?

Good luck, like radiators every one is going aluminum. You might have to across the web to find older stock brass units.

I got an aluminum one from Rockauto fit perfect. 78 Elcamino without Air.

I think I got close to $30 when I scrapped my old brass one a few years ago. I'd hate to know what a new brass one costs.

I think my new Four Seasons heater core is brass. I haven't installed it yet but am close.

Here is a brass one made in USA.....
Look at this on eBay http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...0001&campid=5335822911&icep_item=222491595489

This one from Summit appears to be copper/brass...

Thanks guys. Looks like I need to dig a little deeper. $55 for the four seasons one isn't too bad.

I won't buy a new one, I'd get mine repaired. If I didn't have an original heater core I'd get one from a yard car and get that one repaired.

I ended up removing my brass heater core and replaced it with an aluminum one. Not that my brass core was bad, but it was close to 30 yrs old, so being that I was replacing my evaporator core, I thought I might as well replace the heater core while i had to open up the HVAC box anyway.

I believe my brass heater core was a Modine brand, like my radiator.
