72 Charger Heat control valve

[Kenneth]

Dear Mopar fellows
On my 72 Charger my heat control valve are broke - I cant find in same design - anybody know where to find or what can be in use instead

Yeah, I've never seen one quite like that either. A few months ago I bought one from Napa. Mine is cable operated just like yours and it looks like the bracket yours attaches to is the same required to fit the one I bought as well . do a search on the Napa website to see if it will work...the part number is 660-1235 and I paid $58.49 for it back in the summer. Sadly, this is about the only picture I have of mine showing the valve.

Super - thank you!

Old thread, but I just ran into the same issue with my 72.

Maybe these are direct replacements that are no longer available.

This appears to to correct. $200-250 online.

Don't buy one of those plastic resin type, they are junk, got one for 95 bucks 5 years ago, and it cracked after 1k miles. Got one of the metal ones like above, and had to fabricate an adaptor plate, and it works great.

 

[NoCar2023]

That's what I did. thanks for the info. besides, $200,00 for a heater control valve is out of control.

I had one like that on my 73. I don't believe it was original as the OEM calls for the crappy plastic one which no doubt cracked.
That is an Everco replacement and are available if you search the part number as GY8SE supplied.

THAT IS IT! I looked all over for that valve. ended up using the crappy universal one pictured.
thanks for the info.

Glad I saw this thread, need to replace mine, though the original plastic resin one on mine did last 40+ years. Think I will pick up one of those from ODZKing's post.

Since we are on the heat control valves, let's discuss the 71 vacuum operated ones. What's out there for these?

 

[ODZKing]

Ah, making me work now eh??? OK, 3441885 is the part number and it show to be different from 70 so I am not ssure this listing is correct. But again some of these are very minor details like mounting, the valve may be the same.
any way:
Everco version is:

The early versions of the OE valves, vacuum and cable operated, had a Bakelite valve body and were prone to cracking in short order due to heat exposure. Later versions moved to another composite for the valve body. If running one, recommend shielding the valve from radiated heat from cast iron exhaust manifolds, especially the HP versions.
