1979 Heater control valve
What would the correct heater control valve look like. I have found a few different types listed for this year. The exsisting one is metal and is just hanging between the heater hose.The AIM shows one with a metal bracket attached to the inner fender well.

And yes, it just hangs there, no bracket.

And before you install a new one, check the vacuum system.
Pull the line up from the old and connect it to the new one in your hand. With the engine running and the 'temp' lever ON cold, see if you can blow through it.
I once had a problem with the vacuum SWITCH behind the glove box. It wasn't engaging.
Lived with it for 25 years before I tested it when I was thinking I needed a new valve
