I was driving my daughter to school this morning and I noticed some white
smoke out the the back of the car.  So I went home instead of driving to
work.  Glad I did, the heater control valve was leaking like crazy and the
lower hose coming off it had a nice split in it.  :-(   Bye-bye antifreeze &
hello overheating.

I am now trying to trace a replacement valve and I can not seem to provide a
decent picture of one or get a diagram.  I have looked in the Moss and
Victoria British catalogs, nothing.  The valve sits at the end of the intake
manifold near the firewall and has 2 heater hoses coming off it.

The engine is a MKIII GT6 engine with dual stromberg carbs.

Does anybody know a part number or have one for sale?  I am located in
Ontario Canada.

Thanks in advance.
