Installed a new water control valve with no difficulty. I checked the reading lamp circuit at the switch- no juice. I'll look in the parts car for the wire routing.
I have solved the burning issue of the proper hose clamp question. The parts car was taken off the road in 1959 and has several clamps on it. Some are aircraft, but 4 are what I call ventilated band non Phillips. Page 51 of the body section of the manual confirms that these are factory. These lave longitudinal slots in the band and a slotted, not Phillips, screw and nut. I found them at Restoration Specialties but they have Phillips screws.
