Re: 1967- Coolant Leak from unknown part name

The hot water valve for the regular pushbutton air-conditioning is usually the easy one to find. The one that is very hard to find and can be quite pricey on eBay is the hot water valve for the Comfortron automatic air-conditioning system because it also has a thermal vacuum switch on it that doesn'...
