Joe, you can get a "universal" cable operated heater valve that mounts in the heater hose. Go to your local NAPA dealer and check their catalogs. There are at leas two styles -- one with a tab so you can mount it to the firewall, one wihtout that just hangs in the hose. I have the later type.

My 1972 Gremlin... with a 232 6 cyl with factory AC has the cable operated water control valve (for the heater)mounted on the firewall. Is it the same as on a V8 car? Looks to possibly be in the way when i swap in the V8 (390 still needing built)next spring. It's leaking...needs replaced..no sense buying the wrong part. Anyone with a parts book?? YUP...i'm keeping the AC also. Ya say...Nuts...i'm just getting old..it still works...why lose it!! Think about it...old Gremlin with the AC on...smokes a
Camaro/Mustang...sweet! thanks alot, joe
