Ira, The heater valve is open when the handle is in line with the hose and
closed when 90 degrees to the hose. Your valve doesn't look fully open with
the handle not fully in line with the hose outlet. I see the original handle
had to be replaced with a screw. Those brass bat handles tended to break off at
times where it threaded in to the valve stem.

Subject: [Healeys] Radiator flush
Hello all,
Preparing to install my alum radiator. Thought I would flush the cooling system.
Which diretion direction does water flow? From block thoughÂ
Shut off vavle into heater core, or through pipe and back into block through
the shut off valve?
Is my valve in open ir closed position? Heater controls not reinstalled yet.
Unit get hot so Ill asume open, but want to confirm. Removed thermostat to help
water flush ststem easier. Im going to add extra hose and splice in a water
hose bib. That way I can remove it and put system back in place.
Im off this week, but the rain gods are laughing at me. So I'm just getting
everything ready for the sweet spot of having time and sunshine so I can back
the car out of the garage and flush the system. I plan to drain the anti freeze
and fill with flush chemicals and water when I'm ready to flush. Bought new
anti freeze for my new radiator.
Driving season is fast approaching.
Happy roads and saftey fast
