    I had to drill 1 new hole for one of the pipes and I drilled out the old temp. ring and installed this....

    this will control the temp valve I install in the spring... I would have bought it at Advance also but it is cheaper on Ebay for the same valve... lol here is what I am looking at using....

    I think the valve will work...

    Hope this helps out anyone else out there having heater core problems....

    My valve was good but the core was split.... took it to a repair shop and every time they heated it up to repair.... it opened up in another place.... This is going to work out great..... when I first took mine apart, I found 2 combs, some receipts, and 2 old match books inside.... this was plugging off some of the air in mine.... no hot air could be the wrong thermostat in it?????
