No heater


1941coupe

Recommended Posts

Living in Southern California, I'm not running a heater in my car, a 1941 Plymouth coupe I still have the shut-off valve at the back of the head installed with the return hose going to the water pump, as the car originally came with a heater which began to leak, so it was removed. Would there be any issues removing the heater valve on the head and plugging it as well as the return line connection to the water pump? I can't see any myself but welcome input from other members.

I wouldn't think there would be any issues, just to make sure you have the correctly threaded plugs, which would be either steel or brass, either way I'd use some neverseize or similar pipe thread compound also.....I can relate to the lack of a need of a heater...I installed one 30 yrs ago & have used it about 3 times..........lol...........andyd

No issues.  Our D24 has been set up like that since we've owned it.  Ours still has the valve at the back of the head, but it's simply been closed all this time - same difference as plugging the hole with something else.
