Re: heat riser valve

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

The reason is simple: I want it (and everything else on the car) to work 
the way it is supposed to (or at least as well as it did when it was new). 
My wagon's nice enough now that it deserves a good restoration. I'm not 
planning on a 100 point type restoration but it needs to be very nice (I'm 
wanting a high #2 to low #1 car when I'm done with it).

My 68 does not have the heat riser valve anymore and for what I'm doing 
with that car, it will be fine (function wise, it hasn't made any 
difference not having it -- even on close to zero degree days).
