dose anyone know what an 88 GL-10 heater core should look like? i got this one from NAPA and for some reason the pipes dont look right to me. i have awesome luck with this NAPA store getting me the right parts, a heater core is just a lot of work to find out i have the wrong one.

 

i just want to know if anyone has had one out and can tell me if there are hoses that go from the heater core to the fire wall or if i just got the wrong core.

 

 

 

thanks

That be an EA81 core fo-sho mate. No worky on the EA82.

 

No rubbery bits on the EA82 core's - they have tubes snaking all the way to the firewall. The EA81 is done that way because there is a "control valve" that goes between the core and the supply tubes that can shut off the coolant flow to the core. The EA82 accomplishes the same thing by re-routing airflow instead thus allowing the core to remain in the coolant loop at all times. Also eliminates the valve which occasionally fails, and makes it much easier to bleed the air out of the core so they don't "gurggle" like the EA81 cores often due from trapped air.

definately ea81 core. I should know, i just had the entire dash completely torn apart a few months ago cause of that.
