[DeTomaso] Heater control valve

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

reminds me of a scene from "The Gumball Rally" when Ace the racer who drove
the 70 or 71 beige split bumper big block Camaro had his navigator Gary
Busey turn on the heat  because the engine temp was rising, they were both
sweating like crazy.

Now back to your heater valve thread.
