Until 48 when Packard first used an inside controlled thermostatic valve, heaters could be equipped with a manual valve located at the water outlet on the center of the head. In spring drivers would turn the valve off and in fall turn it on. If the car was not equipped with the valve then water circulated thru the cores year around and the only control was to close any outlets and not turn the fan on if no heat was wanted.
Here is a photo of a typical heater valve but there were different style valves used over the years. Attach file: (20.17 KB)

There is a cable controlled valve that can be used to operate the flow of coolant through the heater core(s). It fits and connects like the one Howard pictured, and will require routing a choke-like cable from inside to operate. It provides variable flow. Any good auto supply store should have one or be able to order. Something to consider. JWL
