68 Newport heater control valve

[68-Newport]

Does anyone know of any place to get one of these things? I have seen it called a heater control valve, a water valve, and a few other names. I've seen one on ebay for close to 300 bucks but that seems a bit extravagant, especially since I live in Arizona and generally go 364 days a year without needing to use the heater. I don't know if it is the same part on any of the other c bodies which limits me to looking for "Newport" parts, so my internet searches have been disappointing.

I think your going to have to find an NOS one somewhere or a used one that may still be functional.Here's something from Autozone that might work.It's a universal heater valve that works off a cable too.It's made by Four Seasons,who have been in the heating and A/C business for years.

Stan, you are looking for the same thing, right.

Remaining stock depleted at VAPINC.
Another source for a new EverHot 18-H1279N heater control valve (1965 -1970 Mopar C-body w/A.C.) is Classic Auto Air.
$200.00 + Shipping.
I won't give the price a second thought come July.
Too risky to attempt a used one since so many of them are rusted out.

There is no reason to pay that amount if what I have will work for you. I get back from NY on Saturday. Maybe I'll pull out the whole unit.

Yah, 200 bucks is nuts, isn't it. LOL. OK, I'll see what goodies you come up with. Thanks.

Stan, If Bulldog can't get you a good one. I have a 62,000 orig. mile parts car here that has ac. The interior is real nice. It should have a good valve in it.

Thanks for all the leads guys. Like I said, living in Arizona I can live without one, but the two ball valves I have installed on my heater hoses to make a "manual under hood heater control" get some funny looks at car shows. Of course they do allow me to turn the heat on or off.

I have been running the heater core shutoff ball valves for years. I couldn't stomach the 300.00 heater core that the ac cars require!! I get looks at the car shows also, But its from people that like them. s_dancing2:

WTF?
Long ram oil breather?

 

[68plymouth383]

I couldn't find a breather without the hose hole for the air cleaner. so I bought a push in fit one, and used a section of re-enforced rubber hose for a stand-off and adapted it to the large opening. Its a filtered breather, does a great job!

Nice! Really helps the low end torque, I bet.
