Re: deluxe heater core?

None of them had the core that had the same fittings as the one that went through my heater box. They thought they did, but once I looked at them, they were wrong.

I ended up having a radiator shop rebuild my original. I really went to a great deal of trouble to buy a new one, and it turned out to be pretty much impossible--at least for me.

Is the valve available? Mine looks rusty, but moves with force.

Is there a gasket that goes between valve and core?

I may get lucky, and have a good core/ valve. The duct at the firewall was packed full of old mouse nest, no airflow. Hope the core was pulled for no heat not leak.
