This heater?

 

Any one knows what the difference is between the FAD-18476-A and the FAA-18476-A

The FAD is for the recirculation F100 truck heater and the FAA seems to be for a thunderbird or Crown Vic. Maybe it just some detail that is different?¨

The FAA is "only" $100.....

 

FAA-18476-A .. Heater Core / Obsolete

1952/56 Ford Passenger Cars & 1955/57 Thunderbirds.

How many people are aware that the first Crown Victoria's were 1955/56 Fords?

Left: 1955 / Right: 1956.

 

Back in 2008 the heater core went in my 52F1, it looks alot like the picture posted, below was the post I did after I got it fixed:

Months ago I posted about the leaky heater core in my 52 F1. I was unable to fix it and was told by two shops to toss it. I then measured it and went searching on the web. I ended up with a new core. It is supposed to fit 79 to 83 Mustangs and it is NAPA # 460-3127. It was almost an exact fit. The actual core pipes in/out were just slightly spaced wider so I had to enlarge the holes in the heater box a little as well as opening up the holes in the firewall also. This was a very small enlargement. I installed it today, thank you Mother Nature 62 degrees in PA.

Worked for me for less than $40.

 

The 55/56 have always been one of my favorite Ford cars but think the 56 is just a little better than the 55 because of the side moldings. Thanks for posting that Bill

 

Why do you think I have 2 boxes full of '48-'50 '51, '52 heater cores that are all bad ? Saved the dead units in case a suitable replacement surfaces .Will try NAPA.

 

first rider , midffifty gets a $50 core charge , maybe you could sell them yours .

 

Napa #660-3127 will not work . Need to find some core that Is 7 3/4 x 7 3/4 x 2 1/2 . The local radiator guy that tests & repairs the heater cores for me can solder on the tanks. Any referrals would be appreciated . Thanks , Denny

 

If it is like the one in the post above I have one in perfect working order. I was going to use just the front to cover my AC unit but would much prefer a magic air front and the 4 **** panel for it. If I can find those you can have my heater.

 

Mike .have a spare one of that style also . Maybe some sort of trade deal ? Later , Denny
