heater control valve?
The heater control valve on my 71 started leaking this week and sprayed some antifreeze around the engine compart. Went looking for a replacement and found there is no exact replacement. NAPA wants to sell me a plastic one, PY has a metal stamped repop that is also different than mine...
From what I have read this valve only affects the AC when it is on high, otherwise it does nothing. I've also read that the later 71's didn't come with the heater control valves. I have a couple of questions. Do I need to replace this valve or will everything function well without it? If I don't replace it, do I just plug the vaccum line that ran to it? |
