Ok, I have unsuccessfully searched the archives and didn't find the info I need. My heater control valve in my 1980 242 is apparently not working. I went outside a little while ago and finally located where the valve lives under the dash. Question is, how does one go about removing/replacing this thing? It seems that the screw heads securing this thing to the car are not accessible from the driver's side foot well. The heater hose clamps don't seem to be very accessible either. Do I have to remove the whole centre console just to ge this thing out? Any special tricks or secrets involved? I would love to get my heat working, as it is going down into the 20's at night and only getting into the upper 40's/low 50's during the day even here in Louisiana. I would drive one of my other 2 cars ( a Datsun and a Ford) during this cold spell, but their heaters are not working either :(

Any hints, tips, tricks or secrets would be greatly appreciated.
