In any case; it's sunk cost. I hope that the gauges will wow me for years to come.
I was taking off the heater assembly from under the dash the other day, and noted that disconnecting the two hoses that lead in from the firewall from the engine compartment would be easier. I did so without much drama, disconnecting them first from the heater valve. Interesting thing is, none of the local Alfisti have seen my type of heater valve before (see pic below). Again, it resides in the engine compartment, very close to the firewall where heater hoses connect to it, and go inside the passenger compartment to plug into the heater. The valve is actuated by a cable that runs through the firewall to one of the two chromed levers underneath the dash. As you can see, this 's not the spigot-type valve that we see on 750's.
Have any of you seen this, and perhaps even know where I can get a replacement unit? None of the catalogues/websites I checked had this type of valve described. Thanks.
