I am having the opposite problem. I finished my 4a restoration at the
start of the summer and am just needing the heater now, but I can't get any
heat out of it. I have a 160 degree thermostat, the temp gauge comes up to
normal pretty fast and stays there, but the heater fan just blows cold air.
I installed a new heater valve during the restoration, and assume it is
working correctly. The heater core was flushed and is not blocked it any
way. I don't have a sleeved thermostat. Could it be that not enough hot
coolant is flowing through the bypass hose because of this? Maybe the
heater valve it defective? Any thoughts?
