I am finishing up the Subaru conversion to my syncro this week and Zoltan's question got me thinking about wether or not my rear core was in the open or closed position. (The Subie engine Must have one of the two cores open or it will overheat). Soooo, as I was looking at the valve I dicovered that it is difficult to tell what part of the valve should be pointing forward for the 'On' position. The top of the valve handle of the bottom, there are no signifying marks on it.

I have received the info from David Beierl that forward is open, back is closed. No more discussion is needed on this issue. Thanks David.Zoltan
