I use a simple push/pull cable for my heat control. I found that the best & cheapest control cable was in a manual choke conversion kit. IIRC it was only ~$15 and the cable is well suited for the task. There was nothing else in the kit of any worth. The valve I found by looking through the stock in an auto parts store until I found something suitable, so I have no idea what make/model of vehicle it came from.

Any thoughts on a simple cable actuated valve( 5/8" ) for the inbound hose to a heater core?  I have thought about not routing air through the heater core when I don't want heat, then have the flapper route the air through it when I do want heat.  But, with the temps hitting 90F+ in N. Carolina I am reminded that it might be best to not have any extra heat in the cabin in the summer...

Thx...
