Product Details

This APDI Heater Core, part number 9010046, is built for HVAC service on classic Ford and Mercury platforms. It is listed for 1971-1978 Mercury Cougar, 1975-1978 Mercury Monarch, 1968-1976 Mercury Montego, and 1971-1973 Ford Mustang, all without AC. It also covers 1978-1979 Ford Bronco without AC, plus high-output heater core applications for 1973-1979 Ford F-100, 1975-1979 Ford F-150, and 1973-1979 Ford F-250 and F-350. The aluminum core and tank design supports efficient heat transfer and a straightforward replacement path for aging factory heater components.

This part cross-references Four Seasons 96571 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

  • Loss of cabin heat in Ford Bronco, F-100, F-150, F-250, or F-350 applications
  • Coolant seepage from a deteriorated heater core
  • Poor defrost performance caused by restricted heater flow
  • Reduced heater output in Mercury Cougar, Monarch, or Montego models
  • Replacement of a worn heater core in 1971-1973 Ford Mustang without AC

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, engine/heater configuration, and AC status before installation. Confirm the inlet and outlet pipe sizes match the existing heater hoses, and inspect the heater box, hoses, and clamps for wear before reassembly. On classic Ford and Mercury HVAC systems, flushing the cooling system before installing a new heater core helps reduce debris that can restrict flow.

Quality Assurance

APDI supplies HVAC replacement components for service applications, and this heater core is built to match the listed fitment and dimensional requirements for the specified Ford and Mercury vehicles.
