If the heater core is bypassed, that probably means that it leaks (a lot).
I had the heater core bypassed on my El Camino for a few years, but
last fall I finally decided I wasn't going through another winter
without heat.
Looks like a nice ride. Slap a decent coat of paint on it and if the
interior is nice you could probably pick up a few $$ driving brides
and grooms around.

The heater isn't hooked up....and it wasn't before I bought the car.
There is a hose coming off the core, and I tried spraying water
there, to see if I could get the heater to work, and it looks like
its plugged solid.
The oil is perfect, nice and clean, smells normal....that's why I
was a little stumped about this black water. But I'll drain/fill/run
it a few times, and I think that should clear up my problem.
Thanks everyone!
