john hanson Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 This came with a bunch of part's that i got from a Buick guy. Mostly Buick part's. I have no idea what it is so i thought i would ask the pro's. It look's like it may be a valve of some kind from the 20's or earlier. the only number i could find on it was a inked stamped # 45.Thank youJohn Hanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Whatever it is, it looks like a sheathed cable of some sort like a choke cable clamps to the bracket and hooks to the pin. I can imagine a cable that has detent notches at the knob in order to set or turn to loosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john hanson Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes there is a place foa a cable to go and hook in it. It has to be a valve of some kind There are 2 port'sFor like liquid to go through.Just thought i would give it a try before i toss it. you neve know when somebody may need it.John Hanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCGHandyman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Curiosities interest me unduly, perhaps. In light of what Keiser31 pointed out, if the attached cable was a usual stiff wire cable, then that indicates this "valve" was operated by the cable, rather than the other way around. (A vacuum dashpot wouldn't push the stiff cable alone.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan at larescorp Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Could it be some kind of heater control valve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
