Re: [Amc-list] 66 Ambo barn find

Nice find! If you just want a temporary valve go to NAPA and get one that fits in-line in the heater hose. I don't have a number, but that's what I use in my car. I got rid of the thermostatic thing altogether. It was leaky, even the replacement valve I bought when you could get them a few years back leaked. The in-line one doesn't. If the local NAPA still has a paper catalog, or they have pics of hte valves on-line, it's easy to find. 

That's a torque tube car, but they rarely cause trouble. The trans crossmember and engine mounts should be replaced soon though. They take a lot of abuse from the drivetrain.
