It's the heater valve. Should be fairly cheap at a parts house.. like $15 or so.

Heater diverter valve. It diverts the flow of water to the heater core when temperature is selected to cool. I think I have an extra sitting around somewhere.

If Knecht's doesn't have one call Schucks and ask for Factory Air part# 74805. It's a part that's stocked in most of their stores. That way no need to deal with morons.

And if you do try to take the one off the other car it will probably break. They get brittle and break easily after a few years.

You could just delete the thing along with those hoses with one 3/4 bypass cap, a 5/8 90* coolant fitting, and some clamps. Cleans it up under the hood nicely. Very Happy

When mine broke it was $35. So I spent $5 on heater hose and a cap and works fine.

Some people say that your A/C wont work as well because the heater core will always have fluid, but I never saw any difference.

Make sure to cap that vacuum line too.

ok since my parts car had everthing byepassed i should have all the parts to do that couls someone send me some picks of how you did it i never really look at how my parts car was set up Laughing

it doesn't really matter how it goes. the hoses look like this == so connect them. Heater core shouldn't care too much how the water goes through.

Cap the vertical Tee-d off line from the lower Hard Line.

Run one line from the intake to the heater core, run from the heater core to the rad.

Bypass the throttle body as well while you do this.

On my bird the hardline was routed all the way down the frame rail. I just cut the T'd section off and ran just a bit longer hose and it was still bolted to the rail. One less cap you'd have to worry about. Not like it's a big issues eitherway.
