An alternative might be to find a manual heater control valve from a 60s or
70s Chrysler product. Although some of them were specials, most were simple
ball valves already equipped with 1/2" hose barbs and fittings for cable
operation.
A clever person could even locate the new valve under the dash, out of sight
of concours judges.
Or do what I did : Keep a heavy leather jacket, leather motorcycle gloves,
and a wool lap robe in the car. (My heater has been sitting on the
workbench for almost 20 years.)
