Actually that is not a compression fitting, i ia a flare fitting. The valve Asa
showed is a rotary style valve whereas the one you show is a plunger type.

>>>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?
