'59 Plymouth Forum

Apparently I've got a bad heater control valve, and I'm looking for the best place to find one. Do I need to find one specifically for the '59 Fury, or can I use one from any '59 Plymouth? Any information on what exactly to look for (so I don't buy the wrong part by mistake) would be helpful. Thanks!

Edit: I just found this website: http://www.vapinc.com/mopar/Heater%20Valves/main.html
Is this what I'm looking for?

Bernie, I tried to find the Forums previous thread on this but could not find it. I have no clue where it is but here is a pdf of how to repair your own Heater Control Valve (HCV) for the cost of a $10 valve seal at NAPA. I did this and it works fine. Or at least it pressure tested fine.

John Q.

the direct answer to your question is "yes", but why not save yourself the $135 and rebuild your own-

Well, the answer to that question would be because I am low on mechanical knowledge (although I'm eager to learn more), but the real reason I'm not quite so interested in rebuilding it myself is because time is money and I'm shorter on time than on money at the moment. Also, this car is a daily driver and it's winter in them thar hills. I could stand to have this heater working on the sooner rather than later side of things, and I know myself only too well... I have no trouble whatsoever in getting a project started, but I'm notoriously bad at getting them finished. My husband will be very unhappy if I take this thing apart and then can't/don't get it back together immediately.

I am good at taking apart too! but have issues sometime on the reassemble part too!

Daily driver? wow! good for you!

By all means pick that up and be done with it. I myself have no money and no time so I am in a quandry most of the time!

Good luck!
