unless it is anything other than an OEM one..it will need some messaging to fit...if you are set on a copper one ...that one t guy posted looked nice...but probably will not be an exact fit...jut sayin...

Ergo my suggestion to just have your OEM piece braised. It's no harder that replacing with a new one, except for a few days in the shop. That, and IT FITS!

I asked a shop about this, and they said they can fix my heater core for $300 if I physically brought the heater core to them.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE? They are trying to ASS RAPE you, go somewhere else. Just tell them it's a Regal core. Don't put the red light on your head and mention a Grand National, no need for that. I just looked at my receipt, it was $75 out the door. Vat boil and clean and then repair heater core for 1987 Regal.
And yes, I did all the R&I. Note: Be sure to watch where that little ground strap connects on both ends. You'll have to disconnect your hood shocks and prop it against the windshield.

that's ridiculous...take it out and take it to them or a different place ...when they have the damn thing infront of them see if they say 300$ then ...and if they do turn around a walk away and tell them I find someone else bc you dont believe in sodomy...and make sure they pressure test it when done
