Art,

So my test method was to simply prove through visual inspection that the new valve did in fact close, which it did. The one that was removed showed via visual inspection how bad it was and that it was not closing in any way shape or form.

My plan this afternoon/tonight is too clamp off the hose, and shove a thermometer into the duct work with the fan off and see what I get as a base line. then start the car, turn on the fan on 2 and let it warm up and note what type, if any, change I detect. Once that is done, I can release the clamp and take another reading and see what I see. My prediction is that it will be higher.

On Sunday I was reading a 15 degree higher temperature than ambient while driving the car around town for about 15 minutes. I do not believe I should have seen that type of increase, even with the temperatures as high as they were outside on Sunday.

As far as a fleet, that is true, however, this one is not a daily driver and I have the time to play with it and get it right, which is what I plan to do.
