The solution for this problem is not to run a heater core. Here in Ohio =

Extreme, but I basically agree--though I like the heat on those crisp fall
evenings I enjoy cruising. I have had a small valve in the hose near the
firewall to try to keep the heat out of an already uncomfortably hot
interior. I just may remove the hoses altogether. Anyone know if there's
any such thing as a 'diverter' that can route the coolant back to the engine
bypassing the core? My valve helps but heat still wicks its way up the hose
into the core.

My 71 F100 has a valve in the engine compartment to bypass the heater
core. Visit your friendly junk yard and look around.

Mark,
Maybe I missed part of this, but if you plug the heater in and out
connections at the block, you shouldn't have that problem. Another option is
to run one of the hoses straight from the output to the input.

How does everone feel about those small plastic tubes of radiator sealant?
Looks like gray dust that you poor in the radiator. I've used it in the past
(in an old Honda, so I didn't care too much at the time), and it sealed the
core right up. Never had another leak, and never noticed any difference in
the radiator. (actually, I can't remember if any of the gauges worked in
that piece of %#*&@$ any way)

If you have a radiator or heater core leak, you should get the leak fixed.
I go through some effort to keep 'stuff' out of my fluids.
Especially stuff that is designed to clog, think about it.
YMMV, IMHO and all the other CYA.
