RE: Heater problems AGAIN!

[ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Bill, I don't know if the 64 and 65 B body heaters are indetical, but I 
pulled the water valve out of my 64 Polara by just removing the 2 screws 
that hold the valve and 2 that hold the terperature sensor connected to 
it then just slid it out. You gotta almost stand on your head or kneel 
beside the car, but all it takes is a phillips screwdriver once the 
hoses are removed. If you can't get it to stop leaking, get a generic 
under the hood valve from Bouchillon Performance for $27 and a longer 
control cable. Mine works ok now and my tennis shoes are staying white, 
not green!
