If you can control the heat with the dash lever, you've got one.
On the 10 and 80 series, the valve is in a pocket on the fan
housing.  It's pretty obvious, as the heater hose runs to it and
the control cable from the dash runs to it.

(BTW, these leak, but there is a repair kit available; same valve
as Volvos.)
