Hot Rods Heater core, 59 elKy with Air

My Heater core in a 59 E C has developed a leak. A GOOD LEAK. Any one ever replaced one on a 59 chevy with AC? Just wondering what i'm in for??

 

Anyone?

 

I would look for a Factory Service manual, buy it no matter the cost. It has all the information you will need.

Your in for fun - but go with AngleDrive suggestion -you should already have a factory manual.

 

I have a manual for every car I own

There one of them manuals on ebay at the moment for $19.99

 

Faxon's Auto Literature in Riverside, CA has factory manuals but for '59 its a supplement that really needs the '58 manual as well. Both are available as reprints. https://www.faxonautoliterature.com/Search.aspx?c=14811

 

I replaced a heater core in an off topic GM vehicle a number of years ago. I couldn't believe all that I had to remove to get at it. My buddy claimed that all Gm cars start as a heater core rolling down an ***embly line, and then they build a car around it.

 

That's funny as ****!!

 

Kinda like tract houses of the 60-70’s. They delivered fibergl*** stall showers in the middle of the lots and built houses around them. If you’ve ever tried to remove one you know what I mean.

 

It's only funny if you're not the one trying to do the repair. Been on both sides of that street!

 

^^Saws all? How bout a cast iron tub; sledge hammer, porcelain chards sharp.
