Well, I may have spoken too soon.  It seems to me that back in the 60s,
almost all the A and B body Chrysler products (without AC or
vacuum-controlled heater) used a similar heater valve.  It was
cable-operated, had 1/2" hose barbs on both sides, and basically just hung
on the heater hoses.  But I haven't been able to find a photo or drawing
on-line to verify an application; and my memory isn't clear enough to swear
which cars used it.  I _think_ my 64 Dart did, as well as my 71 Valiant and
Dad's 68 Coronet wagon; but that was all a long time ago.  My cars both had
225 slant sixes, Dad's had a 318 V8.

Here's the best shot I could find (which isn't for a Chrysler at all, and
has a mounting bracket they didn't have, but maybe gives you the idea)

ISTR it was originally in the return line, but either one should do.
