you can take the valve to a local rad shop and they should be able to test it. sounds like it might be the O-ring(most likely leak spot) and it will come out with out removing the whole assembly. I found a control valve on e-bay a few uears back that someone had soldered up the end and removed all the mechanism making it into a tube with a 90 degree bend and the mounting hardware. I can dig it up if you want to give it a try. you could hook up a manual valve in the engine compartment to turn it off and onn wehn necessary.

Hello,


Mine was leaking, so I bypassed it for the summer and
forgot about it.  Now I could use heat/defrost again, and
I've piddled away the whole summer without fixing anything.
So I just hooked everything up again and took a look.

When I crawl up under the dash, I notice no obvious leaks
until I push the heat lever over to hot.  Then water practically
pours out from around the mounting bracket for the heater
control valve.  I would think that is my problem.  The passenger
floor is dry.  The driver floor has several weak/rotted places
where antifreeze got to it, and coolant drips on my shoe when
it's on the gas pedal.

Question 1:  Can you replace the heater control valve without
taking the whole dang heater box apart?  Looks like I can
disconnect the heater hose and remove two screws
on the flange and pull it out.  I know there's an O ring
seal where it fits into the core, which I can probably get
at the hardware store.

Question 2:  I found a used control valve and heater core
on Ebay a few months ago, which appear to be OK.  No
way to tell if the valve is good unless I install it, right?

Question 2:  Is there any relatively easy way to take the
control valve out of the loop?  Just run hose directly to
the core or something?  I don't mind having hot water
in the core all the time or whatever.  Don't mind it staying
warm in the car.  I had a '49 Hudson with an after-market
Arvin heater once, and it kept hot water in it all the time
unless I turned two knobs on some rigged up bypass in
the hoses under the hood,  which took the heater out
of the coolant loop.

Thanks,
