For some reason the rear heater cores are generally available in the normal
automotive aftermarket. Compared to heater cores for some other cars the
price of these is not all that bad. Considering the damage that can be done
if one suddenly fails I would suggest replacing it. Why install another 25
year old wear part?

These puppies are expensive new, and I'm never sure of the quality anymore.
Not that the quality of these OEM units is very good either.  I replaced the
one in my '84 at about 150k miles too.  Since then I've turned off the valve
in summer.

P-mail me if you have one.
