i broke this piece when putting in a STB. i tried epoxying it but it didnt hold. i know its a part for the cooling but what is it called. i need to buy a new one but dont know what to tel them i need. they dont even have parts diagrams. the piece is plastic, with 3 coolant lines going to it. it also has what looks like a vacuum line. i hope u can help me because its driving me crazy.

 

It's your heater control valve.

 

thanks a lot man. if im not using my heat right now (summer) could i just bypass it by connecting 2 hoses?

 

Just get a new one. It's not real expensive or anything.

 

Nice STB. Where did you get it and what brand is it? I've got that part you broke. It's the one I pulled off of my car. You can have it, if you want it. You'd just have to wait for it to arrive in the mail. I'll send it to you free.

 

pigsticker, I'm pretty sure that's the Edelbrock 3-point STB...

 

Actually it is....I just broke mine about a month ago. It was like $24 with tax at Kragen

 

5 bucks at a junkyard, or 14 at autozone. doesnt sound to bad to me

 

i recently paid $12 +change for one....

and unless you have a way to connect 3 hoses together, no you cant really bypass it.
