   Ernest, have you check the diameter of the cross flow tubes.  The reason I
ask is there was a comparison of Ford and GM evaporator cores in Contact!
mag a few years back.  The end result was the Ford cores (at least of the
1970-80 decade) had cross tubes too small to flow coolant without a
tremendous amount of restriction.  The GM cores had cross tubes of over 1/8"
diameter and did much better.  The net results according to the article, as
best I recall, that made the Ford Cores unsuitable for our needs.  No
information on Nissan AC cores.  I believe it was in issue #43 or 46 and I
can no longer find mine (stuck in a safe place no doubt)
