Anyone have input as to where to buy a new heater core for 63 dart?
Haven't pulled it out yet, and maybe a radiator shop could recore it.
But just in case, buying experience?? anyone??
Thanks

I got a heater core from Napa for my 67.

Napa didn't have a listing for the 63. I'll have to pull mine out to see if it matches later A bodies. Thanks for the info. Laysons notes to check inlet and outlet tube diameters before buying. Apparently different diameters are available.

Heater core interchange is '63-'69 A-body (Dart, Valiant, Barracuda). The '70-'72 core has all the correct dimensions, too, but its inlet pipe is 1/2" rather than 5/8" diameter, so you'd have to change the outlet nipple screwed into the cylinder head if you went with one of those, or use a step-down adaptor in that hose. The '63-'69 item should still be fairly easy to get; go searching on a year later than '63 and see what you find.

Think very carefully and do a good bit of research before you decide to spend money at Layson's -- and be cautious about taking their advice, which tends to slant towards what they want to sell you rather than what is correct. See, for just a few examples, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Much of what they sell is not of their own manufacture; a large proportion of their product line is bought elsewhere and marked up. They're almost never the only source for a part; see here for a listing of some more reliable vendors.

I've got a couple spare cores. The both probably should be pressure tested as they look like they leak a bit. PM me and maybe we can work something out.
