Gang,

My A/C equipped ‘66 Starfire had a minor leak a while back. Heater core seems fine and my mechanic tightened up on of the lines to it, so no more leaks.

But while inspecting, I noticed that the vacuum valve the back of the big block has some seepage discoloration. I think of these things as maintenance parts, but it’s been on there so long, I don’t remember the part number or much of anything about it.

Do any of you have a manufacturer / part number recommendation for a 65-66 big car (with A/C) vacuum heater valve?

Thanks
Chris

Does it have manual A/C ?
Or does it have " climate control " ?

No fancy comfortron on my Starfire.

Just regular old Freon powered manual A/C.

I imagine servicing a 1966 comforton would be a nightmare these days. No idea where to find all the transducers and other gizmos.

The Olds parts book shows 65 thru 67 with manual A/C (exc 442) as part number 396235
For the heater valve.

If that part number is correct, (may be a cutlass only part), there is one on ebay:
