RE: Heater issue

[Jeff Adams <ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Those water control valves are pretty touchy and they're impossible to 
find used. They're expensive to get rebuilt, too. I replaced mine
with an inline valve from www.bouchillonperformance.com. Cost's about
$20 and works fine. I mounted mine in the heater hose laying on the 
intake and hooked it to the wire cable that controls the original valve. 
I can take pics if you like, but if you're looking for function
and not a 100% show restoration, it's a no-brainer.
