Default Help. Identify this part (heater core)

This is located on top of the heater core box mounted in the passenger compartment, on the passenger side. It looks like it has a spring that compresses a little post. I don't know if I broke it, or what it does. It looks like all of the little hoses and parts are either broken or rusted. If I need a new part, where do I find it. Also, what is a good reference to hooking all of this heater core stuff back up. The car is a '77 (late) with A/C.

Turns the water off on AC cars. It's about in the middle of the page toward the top, they call it a switch-water shut-off valve. Your AC must not be hooked up. You need to buy the AIM to get the hookup, that's what the image below is from.
