Any advice on trying to rebuild a 394 V8's heater control valve on a Starfire? Can it be done? (unit has two bolts on a plate that is on the rear of the engine right hand side / pass side).

USAPARTSSUPPLY wants over 170.00 dollars for one + 100.00 for the core which you get back if they can use your core, That is very costly. Someone musts have an idea for repair or cross ref to a new unit.

I searched all the classicolds threads and googled heater + valve looking for info but nothing good yet...

Help
