88, for example.

I've posted on the board that I'm working on some replacement parts for our 240s. One of these is the capillary tube heater valve. After six months, I've determined that indeed, it's just too pricey to tool up to make an exact replacement. However I still don't like the "upgrade" 92-93 valve. I may have found a valve very similar to ours, that will, with the addition of a small bracket I'll provide, be a direct bolt in. However it will be strictly controlled by the dash lever, no wax pellet motor, no capillary tube. This means that consistency of temp will not be as good as we have now (provided your valve is working at all!!!). It will be strictly flow control. What thoughts, bricksters? It will be economical, that's for sure--in comparison.
