Heater control valve placement?

Could someone post a pic of the factory correct placement of the heater control valve on a 455 with A/C? I have seen pics with a few different locations. Thank you

 

I had the same question - See here: http://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/70-gs-heater-hose-routing-w-ac.345208/

You will find that it will not lay down like the assembly manual shows. Get as close as you can. I have metal straps if you want to attach the cushion and tie the hoses together.

 

Perfect, however. Are heater valves with the rubber i sulator available? And what about the insulator and strap for the hoses? I will purchase a strap from you, do you sell the round insulator/ cushion piece also?

 

I reproduce the rubber insulator that goes around the hot water valves. If you are interested I would have to see what I charge for them once I get home.

Thanks Duane, I just ordered one on line. If it doesn't fit I will get with you.

 

Thanks 12lives for passing on the post.

 

Did you get the coolant leak straightened out?

 

You can have the strap - I had to buy a dozen! PM me your addy. The other pieces are available on line. (Duane - didn't know you are selling those - we need a list!)

 

Yes, put a new TA timing cover and water pump on. Also degreed the cam first.

 

Best I could do - the line from the valve to the engine gets in the way so it won't lay down.
