Barrie, have you looked at getting a Land Rover/Range Rover spare? Those are much bigger cars to heat, and of course it'll work w/ the V-8. Another option is to go to Vintage Air, or Southern Rods. They sell A/C kits for cars and have valves. Those are plumbed between two sections of pipe, vs. right to the block, but I think that's how it's done on the RV8.
Good Luck
James J.

I am looking for a replacement for the normal MGB heater valve which I hear is none too efficient. I have found a note from Jack Emery who suggests a Carquest item as used on the rear heater of the Dodge van. The US$27.95 for the 360-410 from Moss does not seem excessive but I hear they "suck".

Anyone have suggestions?

Regards
Barrie
