Is it Amazon control valve?

Do you know where to look for, or what is the cheapest place?

Did that control cable fit it and work too?

It is the PV/Amazon valve - they don't come cheap, but you should be able to find one in a junkyard or a swap meet.
A friend of mine modified that valve and eventually you'll need to change place with the wire casing and the wire - it was a piece of cake.

Location: northern germany		they look like jaguar e type heater valves. a lot cheaper however i bought one some time ago (not from that seller) and returned it. didn't like the quality and the thermostat didn't work so i rebuild mine. rebuild "kits" (just a seal/instructions) are still available from napa.

Location: Milano, Italy		If you are still looking for the valve, there is one for chryslers on e-bay right now, and the price is honest, in my humble opinion.

good luck.

Location: Hickory, NC		If the valve is the same type as my '57 Plymouth has...NAPA sells a rebuild kit for it. Well they did atleast a few years ago when I did mine. Works great too.

I learn more and more every day in life and on this site and it isn't even my car!LOL
Is there any way to test to see if the thermostat on the valve works?
I am going to attempt to rebuild the one on my son's 55 Belvedere.
Also, where does the probe for it run inside the car?
It was out and in the trunk and some plastic valve is just hanging there by the control cable

Hi 60fury just read another thread and you refered that poster back to this thread.

He was asking about 60 Dodge heater valve I'm picking there isnt a lot of difference between the forwardlooks?

Just doing a little homework before getting into mine, I have noticed in a lot of Pictures quite a few bypass and install

an on/off valve in the heater hose not really what I want, mine still works but a little steam when turned on then dissapates

with the heat so minor at present soon to be major .............

Is it straight forward to remove the valve?

Cheers

Location: Arizona		I have mine bypassed but it's not just an "on-off" valve, it moves progressively with the movement of the cable control. Personally I never like the "thermostat" type control the factory used, it was way too slow to react. I recall many winters in late 60's early 70's plymouths where much of the time was spent moving the heat lever back and forth over and over due to the delayed reaction of changes in heat setting being reflected in the temp of the air coming out the ducts.

hi andy, the design was changed slightly for the 1959 model year. not the actual valve, only the brackets that attach it to the firewall. yes its easy to remove.
i was told there is a difference between ac and non ac valves.

actually it reacts in a matter of seconds. of course this does not change the temperature instantly. not that i think the thermostat makes a big difference. most do not work (unnoticed) anyway. if you don't like it just cut the thermostat wire.

Hi guys thanks for the information - Jim did you reuse the existing Temp slide adjuster or a independant cable mounted elswhere?

I'll remove the valve and see how it looks, whats required etc .............. If its to hard I'll be doing what youve done Jim winters coming

Location: Arizona		The prior owner did it. He unhooked the cable end from the temp valve and hooked it to the "new universal" valve. It uses the original lever but the action of the valve is reversed so when you want the valve off you slide the lever to the HOT position. When you want heat you slide it to COLD, and of course anywhere in between to vary the temperature. I don't know any part numbers for the valve, wish I did. From what he said he's not the first person who's done this. He did it because the factory valve was leaking and 1) he didn't want to pay $100+ for a new or rebuilt one and 2) this was a lot easier to install then RRing the factory one.
