Found a great radiator shop here in Tampa. They did a pressure check on all
three cores I had. Two - no leaks at all; the third - well - it will cost
about 40-60 to fix but not needed right now. I'll set it on the shelf for
later thoughts. This results in two complete heater units - one with a
brand new motor and the other a little 'tired'.
Today it goes to its new 'home' and then the dash, gauges and all of the
electrical connections. All have been tested both in/out of the dash. It
really is getting closer and closer....
Thanks to all who offered suggestions.

Subject: [TR] TR3 Heater leak test
I need to test the heater core before I install it. Any do's don'ts? Is
there any issue with hooking up a hose to both sides and let water flow
through? I would think that it shouldn't be 'closed' at the other end
because I believe the pressure would be too high.
Thanks
Carl
