FYI I wanted to inspect my heater box, core, blower motor before I put the motor in the car. I decided to replace the blower motor, heater core, seals, and anything I could. I made the heater box look like new.
I got a heater core from OPGI. It fits fine. The AC Delco blower motor accepted the original fan and that all fit. The heater box seal from the Parts Place all fit. I had to remove the inner fender to get to the one screw that's on top and hidden, but that all worked OK.
The only problem is I got the pair of heater core clips that hold the core in place. The old ones were in good shape and I'm glad I kept them. OPGI sent me (at about $39) the nicely painted blue, well made clips. Problem is the don't fit either heater core. They could be altered, cut with a Dremel but for $39 they should fit, so I used the old ones. I sent the new ones back for credit. The salesman told me to send an email to the tech dept. of OPGI. So I sent eight good photos to them why they won''t fit. There has been no response. Their catalog shows the part number fits (CH30529) fits 64-72 heater cores. The packet that contained the clips shows 68-72 Pont.
I would suggest to save your clips or make your own.
