Expert 5K+ Posts: 9904 Location: Lower Mainland BC | Congrats. Looks great. Job well done. I can't give you much help but I can give you the link to my heater-related post in which we establish that the PN for the heater valve is 1688 946, across the board (mostly) in 55-57 at least, including Desoto. The thread includes info about the Ranco heater valves and the modern equivalent and NAPA rebuild kits and links on how to do it: http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=67959&... This is the one that I bought (and it is still available on eBay): https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Heater-Control-Valve-673452-fits-Volvo-122-P... Good luck. Edited by 56D500boy 2018-08-07 9:37 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 3967 Location: DFW, TX | Raffaele, I think I have a good heater valve. I'll look this weekend. If I find it, it is an original from a 42k mile New Yorker. Can you verify it's the same part? | ||

If I find it, it is an original from a 42k mile New Yorker. Can you verify it's the same part? Be aware that the Model 705 heater (whatever that was) used a 1819 516 heater valve not the 1688 946.

Expert 5K+ Posts: 5006 | Did converts use special sunvisors?
Oh you need the big puffy ones, just padded and vinyl them with gold. Edited by mikes2nd 2018-08-07 12:44 PM | ||

Can you verify it's the same part? very good news ! you think is rebuilded ? or used with no leak ??It is certainly 100% original, never replaced. It did not leak before, but it's hard to guarantee. Let me know if you're interested in the entire assembly, I have just about all the parts.

It most likely is a Ranco H16 like the eBay one, so the $10 NAPA heater valve repair kit would work in the event that it did leak: Edited by 56D500boy 2018-08-08 8:02 PM | ||
