Guest shoreman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 As I understand the Owner's Manual and previous threads on this subject, if I am getting heat inside the car while driving even though the "Heat" knob/cable is all the way in, then the heater control valve is not working properly. Is this correct? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Either that or the control cable is loose/broken/out of adjustment..........Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rsd9699 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The valve could also be bad or the valve is bad (leaking) and bypassed entirely. I did that on my 55 in my poorer days.Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shoreman Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Actually, the cables, control valve, hoses and all heater components look new and move effortlessly in this recently restored car. The valve has not been bypassed and there are no leaks. Guess it's just a bad valve, but wanted other input before pulling this nice looking unit all apart. Thanks for your help, Ron.
