50 Car Heater Water Valve?
What all is in this thing? I'm going thru a 50 coupe which sat in the trees for decades. Got lucky on the heater core, seems to be okay. But that valve leaks, and when I looked at it I decided maybe it wouldn't be all that smart to pull it apart. Haven't looked for a replacement yet but I do have a bucket of copper fittings and ball valves.

It's this one here. I'm just curious because it seems like there is a lot of machinery in there:

Yes, any manner of shutoff can be installed in it's place but it would eliminate the use of the controls on the dash.

"leon bee" - I have one of those I took out of a low mileage wrecked '50 Ford I parted out years ago. If you can wait until I get back to Minnesota in May, I'll send it to you for the shipping charges. You probably won't need it by then, though.

Re: 50 Car Heater Water Valve?
There was a guy who advertised in Hemmings in the "Services Offered" section who rebuilt heater control valves. I had him do the one on my '51 probably 15+ years ago and it was great work. May still be out there.

Re: 50 Car Heater Water Valve?
Thanks everybody. It helped me realize that the complexity of this piece is just so you got fingertip control up on the dash.

Re: 50 Car Heater Water Valve?
I'll be back in touch when I get back to Minnesota. You might get lucky, because there is a slight chance I may have to leave early.

You better wait till the snow melts! I should have mentioned for everybody that Shoebox seems to have rebuilt ones.
