Re: Out out, damned heat!

I just pulled my heater valve out this weekend and found a small cork and
put it in the in side of the core and put it back together as a quick fix
for a few weeks.  The air conditioning seems much more able without the
heat on all the time.  Does anyone have an old one they would like to sell
or a good source for a new one???
