cvtrian Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Here you go - did mine last month with the help of a friend supplying the valve............... I copied this, except for making the loop on the end of the cable, (had a go but not very pleased with outcome) instead I crimped a ring terminal of suitable size to the end of the cable. http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/HeaterValve.htm You can check it out here in the CVTR newsletter Cheers Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alibs555 Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Thank you everyone! I just finished installing the Everco heater valve. It was a very simple process thanks to all the advice and the posts. It was a just drop in part, and no need to drain any coolant. I had to work in the hose as the diameters were a little different, nothing a little muscle conviction couldn't handle. For now I've looped the cable, but I think I will crimp in a ring so it looks nicer. Total job: 27 minutes ???? For my Canadian friends, the part is available at Lordco but under the name "Four Season" which is the company that owns/makes Everco parts. The part number is still 74648 and is readily available. It is made for the old AMC cars (?!). I paid CA$ 42.86 including PST/GST. Again thanks for all the help. Now, if I could figure out why I don't have any brake lights.... Grrrrr!

AWM Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I got the Four Seasons (part no. 74648) branded version from the US and avoided the dreaded taxes/handling fee for once, so very pleased. There's no comparison between this valve and the aftermarket stuff available from the usual suspects here. Recommended. Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk2 Chopper Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 This is the one I've got (4 seasons 74648) through Amazon, just needs some thread sealant and I'm good to go, one thing, does it just screw down to the correct orientation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aardvark Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Yes more or less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Foster, What type of clip did you use on yours? Theone on the photo looks like an electric connector. Thanks, Fernando. BTW, I just ordered one of the valves on Amazon and they now ship to UK.

Mk2 Chopper Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 This is what you need an electrical connector, it's from the highest amp electrical block connector with the outer plastic removed, might need to just open it up a little with a drill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Fernado, it is just a ring terminal that I crimped and soldered onto the end of the heater valve cable. No modification to the cable so easily undone if needed. I liked that better than just bending the end of the cable (solid wire really). Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is very neat. We dont have those connectors over here, the US prefers to twist wires together and cover them with a plastic wire nut. Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I used a crimped-on ring connector with mine.... the action is so smooth on the valve that it works a treat. (The cut down block connector is also a good idea) .....Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Always wrap PVC tape around it, be sure to stretch to break. Use them on a 12VDC 20A car and people call you Spawn of Gash. Scotch loks for me. Cheers, Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MadArgy Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 There are detailed instructions with photos on how to fit this valve on the Danielson's website (a great source of tips IMHO), including a dead simple and neat way to attach the wire.

ed_h Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 If you have access to some drills and a small tap, here is another alternative. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
