Default 77xj6c, by pass heater core (clogged) with electric 12v?

I see them advertised, in-cabin heaters, some use up to 1000 amps. Any ideas? Lawrence

Where do you live? Someplace like Southwest Florida ... it'll be fine. Anyplace else that's more temperate you'll be freezing and won't be able to defrost.

Changing a heater core is definitely a big job but it's just a lot of little steps and bolts and screws. Nothing tricky.

well now I know. Was trying to figure out the same and gave up trying. I have a nice but dirty 1963 S type heater case and wanted it like new but that rod and flap stopped me. Trying to remove the matrix also put a stop to the cleanup blasting job. Not to mention the gaskets which need replacing.

Hi
How do you know its clogged could it be the water control not opening
its on the bulkhead
try this find the 2 hoses that go to the heater corer and nothing else
put a hose pipe on one of them and turn the hose on gently water should start to trickle out
if it dose turn the tap a bit more level to run for 10 minuets
then do the same thine the other way round

hope that helps
