1963 Polara heater core hoses

[ram250098]

I am hooking up the heater core on my 63 Polara with a 383 and need to know which is the supply and return hoses on the core and the water pump.
I think the nipple on the water pump closet to the block is the supply line that runs to the heater valve but I want to be sure
Thanks
AL

I was it is out in Mississauga http://performancemopar.ca
I ordered a new heater core for my car and got it today..now the opening for the valve is 1/8th to big..everything else is ok

 

[Glenwood]

Will the valve oring seal it?

It fits nice and tight in the old one but not even close in the new one..even if I put a bigger O ring on it is still not right..might need to get a rad shop to swap the openings..very disappointed with Classic Industries

Glad I read this thread since I need to install the new heater core for my 64 Belvedere that I got from Classic Industries. Do you think I'll have the same issues as you did? If so, I can send it back now & find one that'll work.
Thanks in advance for any info.
* I just read the recent post about the classic ind repop core & correct O ring size, so my question is, will these allow my repop core to work with my non ac setup or do I need to have my orig recored? I just had my orig heater control valve rebuilt by a guy in WI that Suchy recommended & its awesome. He charges $85 & that includes return shipping: Joe Hudacek, (715) 392-6169 www.heatervalves.net

I emailed Classic and told them about the issue and they said they have never had a complaint about the cores...maybe I just got unlucky LOL

Good news & thank you for checking with them. Maybe the one I got from them will be ok.

I think it will..I told them it looked like someone swagged mine to make it larger..it was not the same size all the was through.
