Wow next shop wants $295-$350 as the "core" fins part I guess is super expensive. Maybe it's a Canada thing with sourcing it?

Jeez, that's pricey ... Had my whole radiator done for $500.
I would certainly think you could do it with a propane torch .... have friend that's a plumber? You'd want to clean it very, very well first, and it will have to have plenty of flux on it. Basically no different that sweating copper pipes ... but not as clean. That should be a $50 repair at a competent radiator shop ... problem is they all just replace plastic radiators now, they don't fix anything. |

Try using one of the places in. Blaine that will accept your package. Once it arrives go across border and pick it up. Do a couple purchase that are cheaper there.
Even if you pay taxes GST/PST should still be cheaper. I have bought a lot of parts this way and still saved money |

just to let everyone know, i ended up using a propane torch and removed all the solder, took the pipe out, wire brushed cleaned it at end. i re did the solder using some heavy duty none electrical solder and it sealed up nice and sturdy. i then shot it with some black paint just on the end, not the whole unit .... back installed and no leaks.... thanks for your help!so far ok!

I remember that I soldered up a pinhole in my '69 el Camino radiator. I still can't believe I was able to get it hot enough with a soldering iron. Never even removed it from the car or drained the water.

Update - got the heater box out today - I was able to get the speed nut off the hidden stud with a ratcheting wrench- wasn’t easy but glad I did it - here is a pic of the firewall after removal.

I plan to take the heater core to radiator shop if it’s leaking- is this indicative of a leaking core?
