Thanks for the heads up on this. I spent some time this weekend on it and can verify there is no plug in the line. I took the heater control valve out and hooked up the heater hose directly to the heater core (after removing the hose and making sure there was no plug). The heater works perfectly this way. I bench tested both the original control valve and the repro control valve with a vacuum pump and both function as intended.................so I now need to get into the dash to see what is going on with the vacuum source that hose is connected to . Good news is that it appears the heater core is not leaking.
