'73 Heater Control Valve?
Do '73s have a heater control valve? (350 - L48, Auto, w A/C)
I see them advertised at the dealers.
Mine doesn't have one (perhaps the previous owner took it off)???

I have a '73 and mine doesn't have one either. I plan on installing a shutoff in the water feed line at the intake manifold before I put it on the road in the spring.
You can get an inexpensive discrete brass shut off at any hardware store. Just remember to turn on the flow of water to the heater core periodically to circulate fresh coolant.
