>>>I can do better than that!   I have an original heater valve, still in 
the Ford box.   Yes, it's a compression fitting, and the valve comes with a 
compression hoozit, as seen here:

The valve itself is a Ford part, stamped with the Ford oval logo.   Here is 
the part number:

A few months ago I did a Google search on this part and actually found one 
for sale in Belgium, on a Belgian E-bay-style site.   I was going to buy it 
(Lori needs one) but made the mistake of telling a guy in England about it, 
and then he beat me to it!

Surely this valve must be taken directly from some other Euro Ford?   So 
far I haven't been able to determine what that might be though?

Roland--do you know?
