Default flathead heater shut off valve

Any one know where to get heater shut off valve for 1953 pickup flathead. This the one that screws in head. I can find the ones with straight nozzle end for hose but mine angles up to clear head when screwing in.

Check with Third Gen Automotive or Southside Obsolete.

There’s one in the V8 swap section.

I rebuilt mine by buying a modern one from NAPA , and then using the valve assembly in the cleaned up Ford original. Valves were the same. Newc

I actually thought about this but wasn't sure if it would work without having tried it.

Thanks
