Don't think I ever saw these my postings on the list. So resending them:
---------------------------------
Don't know. Some kind of van.
It think it was Bill Eslick which gave the van model. Got a print-out
of
his e-mail from Tracy.
I went to a NAPA store and their part# is 788046. $100.
However, I recently replaced my right leaking radiator with a spare I
originally
pulled from the junkyard. Didn't realize it was 1/2" less tall than the
one
I replaced, until after paying $45 (!) for having in- and outlet tubes
welded
on. So I had to re-do my mount brackets.
Now it's running hotter than it used to (no water flow left radiator
again
- someone let out the gremlins).
I really wanted to replace both left and right radiators, but the left
one
is less wide - my air intake passes by it. Will have to wait till I
change
over to EFI and tuned intake,

Well, as you
can
see, I'm still working on the assumption that my turbo is history, so
I've
been looking at evap cores. I like the fact that they're relatively
cheap,
and can be purchased new from any auto parts store. The downside is
not having
a big chart that shows the size and hose layout of all the different
models.
If you have
dimensions,
and pictures that show the hose layout of a particular core, could you
post them. Most important is knowing what vehicle they were made for,
since
that's the only way to order them. Specifically Finn, do you recall
what
vehicle your cores were originally made for? I'll probably stop by a
couple
of auto salvage places, but I'm not so sure they'll just have them
laying around to measure.
Thanks,
Rusty

The one I removed:
3 7/8" D x 8 7/8" H x 13 1/2" W (10 1/2" core).

In my area, the auto salvage yards don't remove them, you have to
pull them from the car yourself. The disadvantage of this is that you
have
to do the work, the *advantage* is that you can be careful, and be
assured
that there is less damage to the core.
Thanks.
I just called around to a few places, and that's
what they told me as well. They also said they charge $40-$45 for
them,
which seems like a lot considering the avg new AC Delco price is
$119-$129.
I
noticed in the archives that Bill Eslick used '86 Caprice
cores, but he didn't mention the actual dimensions. I would worry that
what might have fit fine in an RV-6 cowl might not fit an RV-3
(standard
cowl, not BUC).
Cheers,
Rusty
