Cooling System Problems
Okay, so I find that my radiator is leaking, as is my heater core. Someone suggested "by-passing" the heater core. How???? Ooops - it's a 79!

Bypassing the heater core will only keep coolant out of the pasenger's side footwell. You can disconnect these two hoses at the firewall. You'll still have the radiator leak.
