Heater Control Valve

Is this the Corvette valve? If so, can one of you "Corvette valve guys" post a picture of how you have it installed in your truck? Since it won't screw into the head, I would guess it has to be rigidly mounted somewhere for the cable to work right.

we aren't using the full valve. Someone discovered the rebuild parts for it are the same as the mopar valve in the above posts. Back when this stuff was new the same supplier must have designed both valves.

Here's the box! "Corvette valve"....just the innards though....

I have the same valve on my 52 Cranbrook as Jocko shared. Is this the Corvette seal kit that’s been referenced? As Young Ed shared, this kit isn’t much. I’ve included pix of the seal kit & my valve’s innards.

Also, mentioned by Jeff was a 2nd shut off valve in the hose line. What was used for that?

I’m looking forward for help because my heater is on all the time this summer ?

OK, I got bored and bypassed a lot of this. So, if I'm repeating I am sorry

 

The slits are there to allow a small amount of coolant to constantly circulate through the heater core. This is to prevent corrosion of the core.
