Check your heater hot water shut off switch. I don't know where yours is on a 73. Look it up in the manual.

Hi D,
I know your question is serious.... but when I read 'worm air', all I could think of was 'worm farts'. Worm... Warm... Sorry!
Regards,
Alan

Not sure if your 73 used a vacuum cut off switch but you can go to Lowe's and get a "Ball Valve" Part # T200BXB. Just splice it into your 5/8" heater hose and it will stop the flow of hot water thru the heater core. PG.
