You post the message as "heater for my beater"...

Is that to say originality is not you greatest concern? The heater control valve was stuck open in my 122, which is fine for winter, but unbearable for summer. So I went to my local hardware store and bought a water valve. Pulled the two hoses off the original heater control valve, and put the new water valve in-line between the two hoses.

OF course, it ain't original... but if I had a good heater control valve it would be a cake walk to make it right again. And I've gotta open the hood to turn the heater on or off. But it works great and is totally reliable.
