Since it is winter, until you can find the elusive heater control valve you might want to by-pass it and hook the heater hoses directly to the heater core. The heater control valve is fairly simple to replace. It does require the removal of the glove box liner to get to the temperature control cable attachment, however. Just be sure to note which heater hose attaches to which side of the valve in the engine compartment. You don't want the coolant to go through the valve backwards - it won't seal properly. The valves are hard to find. NOS ones are pretty much gone. Good used ones abound however. Similar valves were used in all 1959-66 Imperials, all 59-61 Mopars, and 62-64 Chryslers and Dodge 880's. So lots of potential donors for used ones out there. Also, there are also vendors who will rebuild your original.
