You might try McMastercarr.com you'll need the OD, ID and cross section though. I purchase lots of items from them and unless it's a special OEM size they'll likely have it.
Good luck!
Good luck!
I just replaced one in my 62 Belvedere. I found them at Lowes in the plumbing section. Took the valve and test fit a few. There were 2 that fit, one was a little thicker then than the other. Bought em both and the thinner one worked. I'll check the size when I get home from work.

The ... ahem...harbor freight...ahem... o-ring assortment has a size that worked on my '64 heater valve.
You wanna see a Doctor about that cough you have. :grin:

Someone posted to stay away from the HF o - rings and considering the mess that could happen I'll hold out for something better . I do appreciate the input though .

Good idea they use the same O rings from harbor freight to make chinese condoms and look how many people they have in China!

There's no oem part. For the cost, get close and try a couple different sizes. Use a light coat of Vaseline when reassembling. You'll be good to go.
