I found my vac connection for the a/c that cuts off the heater hose feeding into the car has cracked or come loose, so my HOT coolant is flowing while Im trying to use the a/c. I dont have the time now to tear apart the dash to get the control out, so I bypassed the coolant flow valve and installed a manual shut off valve. I looked all over and couldnt find a simple valve until I stopped at my Wirsbo inslab heat system buddy's shop. He had the brass thumb turn ball valve in stock with hose bib type ends on both sides, a perfect fit :) Now I should get alot better a/c besides cooler running with windows down :) In case someone wants to shut down their flow, its easy.
