[DeTomaso] Heater valve

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Adjust the cable to shut completely and not open fully, that'll be enough.

I played with this a lot and bent a couple of cables before I figured this out. my solution was to install a manual water valve that I can reach from the drivers seat in front of the standard water valve. when I want ac I close the manual valve and open it up for heat . the factory water valve still works and is controlled by the temp lever.
