Default Steering & heat problems

I have a few things that need to be worked on with my 94 z
Steering rack and pinion need to be replaced. Where can I find a suitable replacement?
No fluid is reaching the heater core and thus no heat (clogged?)

Thanks for any help

You can get the steering at AZ or O'Reilly.

How do you know that no coolant is reaching the heater core?
The more normaly issue here is that you have a vacuum leak somewhere that prevents the heater box doors from being correctly postitioned.

I think your heat issue is A) what the ^ other guy said or B) you are so low on coolant it isn't reaching the heater core, but not low enough to cause the engine to overheat yet.

Just feeling the hoses I could tell warm coolant was running through the heads and radiator only. Checked coolant and it's fine as well.

Heater core could be clogged, First make sure it is hooked up. Alot of people will just bypass it if it starts to leak, also could be the door thats goes from cool to heat. Do you hear the door switch over when you turn the **** ? both of the 94's ive owned i had to fix the door
