Title: WANTED: heater valve to suit 75 Twinspark?
Post by: Evan Bottcher on June 01, 2010, 10:52:08 PM
I believe these are difficult to come by.  They are listed on IAP site in the US, but not in stock.  Does anyone have any leads on where I can buy one?

How desperate are you Evan? I have a solution that you can have on loan for a bit if you like, but i will need it back one day. In the mean time, you could make another one for yourself?

I think the 75 Twin Spark shares the same heater valve as for a GTV6 . Very hard to come by.......I had to get my heater core modified to take an alfetta heater valve  ???

I think you will find the GTV6 valve is different again. Refer here http://www.alfaclubvic.org.au/forum/index.php?topic=2961.0

Replacing the current valve (which i assume is leaking Evan?) with another is only ever going to be a temporary solution- as far as i'm aware you can't get new ones, and even if you can find someone with NOS, it is still 20 odd years old.

Strange as the heater valve on my 1985 GTV6 was exactly identical to my 1989  75 Twin Spark. Right down to the copper lead that attaches to the heater core which most people deem useless and don't connect when replacing heater valves  :)
