I have been through three aftermarket heater valves in my 83 in the last two years. None of them worked well in any way. If they were loose enough to move without folding the cable in half, they leaked and ran hot air in the cabin all summer. Cheap enough at about ten bucks each, but they don't work. GoWesty has an alternative for about eight times that price, but it has a lifetime guarantee, and hey--guess what--it works as advertised. If you want a valve that turns all the way open to heat the cabin, and all the way closed to cool it, without bending your heater cable into pieces, I think the GoWesty product is your only alternative today. And then there's that lifetime guarantee. Jim |
