FS: 94-95 Evaporator Cores - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

FailureCoach · 06-15-2022

In my mission to find a 90-93 core, Corvette Central, and Old Air Products apparently use the same supplier, they sent me 94-95 Evaps. Neither vendor will return, or even answer my requests for help. So I figure I'll list them here.
They are the correct smaller size core for the ZR-1, but with metric fittings for R-134a equipped cars. The fitting for the pressure switch is the correct placement, towards the outside of the car, not toward the engine like the base model. The unit from Corvette central was installed in the car, but only then did I find out the threads were incorrect. Yes the caps were removed, so they have been open to the air. $150 each obo +shipping. I will likely ship through my work, most likely between $20-30 in shipping. Cost for a new core from Corvette Central is currently $284, I believe I paid $269 around 1.5 months ago.

Did you ever find the correct evaporator? Where did you get it? Brand and/or part number? Are these still for sale?

I have used two used 90 evaporators if you need one.

Thanks Johnny. I don't need one but much appreciate your offer. I was simply trying to flush out more details as I keep reading mixed things about these being unavailable or the incorrect parts yet RockAuto actually still sells them new.
