<font color="blue"> Replacement heater core works fine ! </font>
Installed the replacement core... ~1 hour job... works a lot better... cab went from 25 F to 51 F within 30 minutes...
Original core had 1 inlet/outlet tube soldered off-center causing only a tiny hole...
Took advice here about air-pockets... so I filled the core with water (by blowing it thru)... so it was entirely filled when I hooked up the hoses to it...
FYI... the tubing in the core is soldered copper...
Thanks for your help & insights... !
