Where to install a manual heater shut off for my 1957 Plymouth Belvedere

[Rusty Muffler]

I'm going to install a manual gate valve on one of the heater hoses. Does it matter which one? Red hose or black? What direction does the water flow?

flow? See picture and thanks!

So on yours, the black hose before it goes inside the car stopping the heat. That valve it is going into should turn it off completely. There are new valves out there for $66 or so for Volvo's which are the same thing. Ranco brand originally. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...f9e4c2&afSmartRedirect=y&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

Thanks 58, Aliexpress says it can't ship to my address and not available? Have you used them before?

Thanks for that link! That valve looks very similar to the one in our '66 Newport. Perhaps the same Ranco valve with a different mounting flange?

Now that you have a Volvo application and other related numbers, you can probably go into the Ranco website and look around or possibly even put those applications into RockAuto. If it's on AliBabba, it's other places too.

Just some thoughts,

Yes we have used Aliexpress in MO. Yes Ranco came with different flanges and 'Y's, etc.. just google Ranco valve. Napa has a rebuild kit for some.

Which # should I search for AP03 OR Amazon PV444 PV544 for Chrysler 700 701?​

I ordered the valve you suggested, thanks. Mine was half missing and some soldered the base plate to bypass it. Where does the capillary go exactly?

Never mind, I can see where it goes. I always wondered what that round plug was for.

58Belvedere is a genius and an asset to this forum. Volvo valve worked perfectly and saved me more that half the cost. Thanks 58!
