Best way to check for leaking heater core
Our '67 LeMans came with no hoses going to the heater core. The engine had been replaced and the heat and AC had not been reconnected. I don't know if it was laziness or if it was because the heater core was leaking. I don't see any obvious signs of a leak, but who knows how long it's been since water flowed through it. I want to test it in the car. If it's OK I want to hook it up, because my son drives it daily, and it's starting to cool off here.
What can I rig up to check it? Air pressure? Vacuum? I don't have a lot of equipment but don't mind purchasing something inexpensive if it will tell me what I need to know.
