    A while back I bought and rebuilt a heat control valve that I thought would fit my '56 Pontiac. Turned out to be the wrong one!
    Can anyone tell me which one I need and what this one fits? The one I have says Ranco HF or Type HF.
    Thanks!

    Isn't that the same fire wall shape as Tri 5 Chevys? If it is, then check out Chevy catalogs as there available in the aftermarket.

    Yeah.... but so does the wrong one! It's just a little off in size and mounting holes.
    Not something I'd be able to tell just from pictures. I'd like to find a rebuldable one for my car that I could afford. Rebuilding is challenging but fun and well worth the price difference to me.
    Regarding the tri-five Chevy ones, they're quite a bit different.
    Thanks for the replies so far! Ideally I'd like to identify why I have and sell it to buy the correct one.
