[Healeys] 6 cyl heater tap on the block

[Richard Kahn]

Your photo made me check. It actuall does say off and on the valve. Still the lever seems ot be half way between off and on. I have learned not to fix anything that is working.  So, 7:30 it is until it starts leaking someday.

Did I miss the answer to the question? Is it closed in the counterclockwise position? My BJ8 is open (getting heat) with the lever at the 7:30 position viewed from the front. It has always been that way. In US plumbing the heat would be off with the lever perpendicular to the hose and valve.

Oh, I should have added: Be careful trying to turn, esp. if it hasn't
been 'exercised' in a while. The handle is fragile (maybe soak in a
penetrant first). Also, the valve is spring-loaded, if you can push it
in and out a few times may help loosen it.
