Hey guys, I have replaced the heaterhose tubing that protrudes from the firewall, but that was not the cause of the leak.

 

I am assuming this part ( part in photos) is a heater water temp sensor . Question is where can I find a new one?? I found a rust hole in the flood pan and am 99% sure this leak is the cause. The leak from this valve is a steady drip even while not running.

 

Any help or advice is most welcome, as I am pretty much stuck atm.

 

Thanks!

Cody

Zcarsource.com. Pricey though. They have rebuilt ones also.

Yep! 200$ I think il go with the rebuilt one. And I may be able to provide an additional core from my 76 280z parts car. See if they will cut me a deal!

Thank you very much though, I always forget about that site.

Even the rebuilt one is expensive at $171!

May be a good time to open up the passenger side of the heater box and examine the  heater core itself. I believe the valve connects directly to the core itself and both may be ready for some TLC. This will also give you a chance to have a look at the inside of the box.

Pulled the heater core and it had a positive test! Now time to send my core off.

Does your car have factory A/C?  How hard was it to remove the valve?

The complete A/C system was removed by a previous owner. And I have the windshield out and the dash out, so wasn't bad. You will to pull the blower motor

I was just curious.  I have factory ac and I know I'd have to remove the evaporator to remove the valve should it ever go bad.  Fingers crossed.....

Nuh uhh.

Pull the blower motor and valve is behind it.
