I deleted my A/C about 2 months ago. And while I was removing the passengers hutch panel I noticed my heater core was leaking I thought to myself, "I can just block it" so I blocked the heater core "in" afterwards, "Ididn't know there was a heater core out at the time" well My coolant was disappearing out of the resevoir and I blamed it on my leaky radiator. Yesterday I did a complete swap "copper to alumium" radiator in hopes of getting rid of the blasted leak, well I took care of the elak but this morning when I looked my resevoir was still empty! I look under the passenger side floor mat and low and behold the blasphamouse heater core was still leaking!
My question is:
What is the easiest way to completly bypass the heater core? I have alreayd taken care of the heater core in, I know the out it connected to the top passenger side of the radiator, but would I just block it? what about the big hole in my rad.???
help

the easiest but also most ghetto way is to simply run a heater line from your manifold to the radiator instead of having it go from the manifold to the heater, or from the radiator to the heater. Come over some time and we'll fix it. I've got a ton of heater hose laying around.
yeah, works great when the heater core goes to, i know.
