Call Jim Tucker. Don't email. Call. http://www.heatercontrolvalve.com/Ask him if he can rebuild yours. Some he says can't be rebuilt, but he does seem to have an inventory of originals for those, if you ask. He's not a good salesman - you have to pump him for information. I bought a valve from him 6 years ago and was very pleased.

Go on ebay and buy one for a Camaro and un-rivet or un-bolt (I forget which) the bracket. Then rivet to your old bracket.
I showed that to someone on a hemi sunroof strato vent car and works and looks well.
IIRC, it was around $20.

I think you could just bolt your bracket to this one. Mustang Vavle You might be able to make this one function with your bracket. But it will look different. http://www.ebay.com/itm/66-67-68-69-70-7...28f&vxp=mtr If you search harder I think you could fine a brass valve section with right lever arm for under $50.

Looks to me like the only part he needs is the valve, and that part unbolts, if the one he has with the rubber hose on it diaphragm still works that would be the one to repair?
running up my post count some more .

He said he can't rebuild this style of valve, and unfortunately he didn't have any NOS valves like it at the moment.
