    can i just loop the tubing from the pump back into the other inlet with out any issues? i dont need it and am trying to simplify as much stuff as possible. figure if i get cold i can just hug the doghouse lid.

    There are probably a lot of vans out there like that because of leaking heater cores,,,,,if you have a 6 cylinder, one hose is 5/8" and the other 3/4",,,,so probably use the 3/4 hose and squeeze it down on the 5/8" pipe...

    Ha!! You'll probably want a heater in south lake tahoe in a couple months... or probably a windshield defroster! But yeah, just looping it like don says is a good temporary fix. New heater cores are available when the time comes to fix it correctly.

    Hey thatcher
    I had my heater core re-done last fall
    by McCarran Radiator in Sparks Nevada.
    They saved me about $100. Total cost
    was about $87!They also re-cored my
    radiator a few years ago. I have NO
    overheating problems EVER.

    This is Part No. 398237, the correct replacement for the factory heater core for 64-66 chevy van:

    The photo is a stock photo of the generic heater core. I have one of these heater cores in my 64. Read my review on the advance auto website. Easy to install and it fits!
