Re: Water control valves

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Great Info Tom I'll have to pick up the double horizontal one to put on my American. I picked up a one Horizontal one vertical years back and put it on and it works, but the hose just doesn't lay right even though I bought a hose with a 90* bend in it. I want to change it to the double horizontal as it would then lay and look right running up along the valve cover to the tube on the 4.0L I have in mine.

>Kennedy has the threaded style that screws into the manifold, and the style that is attached to the firewall with two horizonal fittings.

>I don't know if Kennedy has the style with one vertical and one horizonal fitting. While it is NOT listed in the catalog, I know that Jeff only lists the more common stuff in his catalog. He may well have it.

>Have you looked at American Parts Depot? Doug has his catalog online. And, no, I didn't look before I started this post. I just thought of it.
