I did the garden hose thing on a old Mercruy Comet I once had, I let
the water run through the core and into a 5 gallon bucket just to see
what and how much came out. A lot of rust, actually a whole lot of
rust. I suppose that heater core was the low part of the cooling system.
I hooked the hoses back up and the heater worked liked new after that.
Prestone makes a kit you can cut the hoses and do the same thing which
might or not be a good thing. This one is on ebay but the auto parts
stores have them.

Proerly installed and used the "prestone" flushing "T" is a good
tool. At the dealership we had a cooling system flushing and coolant
recycling machines - which both used the flushing "T" as an access
point.
