I would get the $49 heater core seen on Ebay. The quick disconnect at the firewall should last a very long time, it is not a moving part.

What the videos don't show you: when installing the new core, attach the core to the coolant pipes FIRST, with new O rings of course. Then screw the core in to the plastic case to hold it in place.

Make sure you have emptied the radiator about a 1/2 gallon, and have a water tight plastic bag to catch the coolant that is in the 2 pipes and core.

I use a Tshirt to filter the coolant that is poured back into the overflow bottle.
