Bob,
If those are in the heater hose lines, then they are designed to
shut-off coolant flow to the heater core. There are two purposes in
this. First, it reduces interior heat, especially in the summer when
you are trying to use the A/C. Second, some racing bodies want you to
have shut-offs just in case you blow a heater core or interior line, it
doesn't blow hot coolant all over your feet, windows, etc.
