	Kudos to Scott Mockry for getting the heater control valve, hose, clamps,
Pentosin to me in a very speedy manor.  The temps yesterday soared into the
30's, so I spent a few hours getting the car back on the road.

Old valve:

Compared to the new one:

	Installed everything (the hose clamp clamping the valve to the heater hose was
a major, major PITA.  Rusted solid.), installed a new MFTS switch, flushed the
system, and refilled with fresh coolant.

	Thanks for everyone help/advice.
