Re: Questions: Heater Control Valve, Blower Motor, 1953 Cavalier (also progress update)

If the Chevy valve will fit our opening and screw holes line up with the mounting brackets so the clip or tube gets positioned to sample the temp of the air coming out of the plenum box that is a darn good price. Not sure I would even mess with the old one anymore. In spite of all your work it may still not function anyway. The longer input tube might be a visual issue but since the hose for that tube comes from the head I doubt it would cause a problem because of any sharp bends.
On your earlier comment on the cables. They can be easily changed without too much effort except you fitting under the dash. There is a screw which bites onto the outer housing and a loop which fits over a pin on the lever. The loop is retained by a clip. Remove the clip, pull the loop off the pin and loosen the screw. The cable assy will slide back so the wire can fit thru a sort of slot in the space where the circle and screw holding the cable becomes part of the lever assy.
Here is the 54-6 assembly. 51-3 is similar except there are two cables on each side so two clamps and two pins on the levers. The screws holding the cable housing are pointing downward so you can get a screwdriver on them and are not really visible in this photo.
