You can hope that the cable is not quite moving the lever far enough but
the problem may well be the valve itself. I have replaced many of them
when they stopped shutting off all the way.

$15 part, not that hard to change. Behind the radiator in 83 and newer
so easier to get at when the radiator is out. In 82 models it is inside
the dash area, next to the glove box.
