64 heater control valve leak

Just for grins, take a piece of cotton string and soak it in a cup of highly concentrated salt and water. Then wrap the string around the shaft close to the housing and tight. Leave it sit for a day, might save the valve.

I picked this valve up at a flea market or Ebay a while back. It is for a1970ish Jeep. They appear to be fairly common and go for around $30. I think the action of the arm has to be reversed but don't remember the specific differences. I thought it would probably be configured as a good replacement for my '64.

If I remember right, just flipping the arm would do it.

I found this while perusing pictures of water control valves.  It's pictured as part of O'Reilly's catalog.

There's no mounting provisions but it looks like it would work on a '63 (if the cable pushes to open)  Is it shown closed now?

This is the same valve that I use in my 64.  I have not mounted it yet.   I am likely going to make a model of a mount in Solid works and 3D print it.  Hmmm...maybe that'll be my next printer project.

Don't know how it's built inside, but it looks like there's a chance that you could bend down the stop. rotate the valve so the pin is on the other side, and flip the clamp, thereby converting it between pull-to-open and pull-to-close.

If you were to do that, the cable clamp would be on the wrong side of the valve wouldn't it?

Turn the clamp 180° and put the cable underneath it.  Yes, it would be resting on the flat section of bracket, but there would likely be sufficient clamping force to hold it in place.
