how does the A/C water valve work? - 10/03/11 08:57 AM
I recently took the water valve off of my 70 Charger with factory A/C. It's a Ranco H16 type and the pipes hold pressure (doesn't leak out of the back). But here's the thing: No matter in what position the temperature control cable is, there is flow from the inlet pipe to the outlet pipe (tested by blowing air through the pipes) - is it supposed to be that way? The only way to completely shut down the flow is to push down the tab that is connected to the vacuum pod (really hard to push down - tried sucking on the pod to create vacuum but I wasn't able to pull down the tab - pod works btw).
According to the FSM only in Max A/C and Off position there is vacuum to the pod.
I know that the 70 heater valve is a one year only deal having a vacuum pod but how do these valves work on other years? Can the water flow be shut off completely with the temp control cable?
