    I had a similar issue as 73touring that I was able to resolve. I had trouble finding the EFL 300 mentioned above so I went into my local O'Reilly auto parts store to see if they had a flasher that would work. Their system pointed me to a 3-prong flasher with terminals labeled "+", "-", "L". I bought the flasher and tried to make it work to no avail... no matter which combination of three wires were plugged into the leads, the dash indicator never worked (although the flashers themselves were functional). I returned the unit, did some more sleuthing online, and found www.memotronics.com where I ordered an EF33 flasher unit, which has terminals "X", "P", "L". Plugged it in as specified above and it works like a champ.

    Hi folks, So I bought a '76 2002 a few months ago and am working on getting some of the essentials up and running before the wet weather really kicks in. The project du jour is refurbishing the heater core, which is going quite well overall thanks to the excellent FAQ. One issue I'm running into is the fact that my heater valve is a bit worse for the wear. The black plastic post into which the lever arm screws is stripped out--not a big deal, since I can just epoxy in place the lever arm screw. But the valve was also hard to actuate, so I tore it apart to clean it up... and broke the little black plastic part inside, where it attaches to the white plastic 'shield' part. I could try to JB weld the little plastic parts back together (the black one and white one in the picture), but I'm worried that it might leak/come undone internally after I put it all back together. Also there's the little spring bit which would no longer be having any effect. So, my questions are: Is it possible/cheap to get replacement heater valve innards? Is it a good idea to try to epoxy this guy back together in all the right places? Thanks so much! Ben Tacoma, WA
