Send engine heat into the passenger compartment with the Four Seasons heater core, part number 98532, an aluminum core that passes the warmth of hot engine coolant to the air your blower moves into the cabin and defroster ducts. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1971-1972 GMC Sprint, 1968-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle and 1968-1972 Chevrolet El Camino. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
A heater core works like a small radiator in the heating system. Hot coolant circulates through it, and air from the blower passes across it to warm the interior and help clear the windshield. Four Seasons engineers and tests this unit and draws on more than 50 years of mobile A/C experience.
