Ira, The heater valve is open when the handle is in line with the hose and closed when 90 degrees to the hose.  Your valve doesn't look fully open with the handle not fully in line with the hose outlet. I see the original handle had to be replaced with a screw. Those brass bat handles tended to break off at times where it threaded in to the valve stem.

Subject: [Healeys] Radiator flush

Hello all,
Preparing to install my alum radiator. Thought I would flush the cooling system.
Which diretion direction does water flow? From block though 
Shut off vavle into heater core, or through pipe and back into block through the shut off valve?
Is my valve in open ir closed position? Heater controls not reinstalled yet. Unit get hot so Ill asume open, but want to confirm. Removed thermostat to help water flush ststem easier. Im going to add extra hose and splice in a water hose bib. That way I can remove it and put system back in place.
Im off this week, but the rain gods are laughing at me. So I'm just getting everything ready for the sweet spot of having time and sunshine so I can back the car out of the garage and flush the system. I plan to drain the anti freeze and fill with flush chemicals and water when I'm ready to flush. Bought new anti freeze for my new radiator.
Driving season is fast approaching.
Happy roads and saftey fast

I removed the valve and the valve was open, even if the the direction was
not as believed. I took it apart a few years ago. It is stuck open. Is
there a source for the handle? I sprayed it down with stuff to loosen it
up. Will try and see if I can get it to budge. Thanks folks.

Ira:  If I recall my experience with the heater valves in the block and =
radiator correctly,  I did this;

Remove the valve;  remove the cotter pin;  remove the small spring if it =
is still there.  A replacement may be needed if the old one is not =
functional.  Tap on the end of the valve that had the spring and cotter =
pin and it should pop apart.  The valve is conical in shape so constant =
tension is needed to keep it seated.  I applied toothpaste to the valve =
cone, put the two parts together, chucked the spring end in my drill, =
and seated the the two mating parts of the valve.  You can tell when you =
are done when both surfaces are bright and shiny with no corrosion.  =
This would be the reverse of seating in the engine valves.  You are =
pulling the two surfaces together instead of pushing.  Other abrasive =
products could be used but the finer the better.  New spring and cotter =
pin if needed and your valve is as good as new.

My valve handle was also broken.  I do not remember if it was originally =
screwed in.  I ended up tapping a piece of rod in the hole with a tight =
/ press fit.  It's steel but it won't break and I'm not going for =
concours.

  I removed the valve and the valve was open, even if the the direction =

Is there a source for the handle? I sprayed it down with stuff to loosen =
it up. Will try and see if I can get it to budge. Thanks folks.

Per the article I sent you, if you tap the end of the valve inwards, =
it=E2=80=99s almost got to loosen up. But you can expect that the spring =
will disintegrate so you better have another to hand.

New handle? Don=E2=80=99t know. If you get some brass rod that is a bit =
oversize, you can make your own. I=E2=80=99ve not got the space (or =
skills) for a lathe but an electric drill will serve. Hopefully, =
you=E2=80=99ve got a bracket for your drill on your workbench? Or a big =
enough vice.=20

Stick the rod in the drill, switch on and reduce the rod in size with =
files. Using different shaped files, you can even put a little ball/knob =
on the end. Then put a thread on it and you=E2=80=99re set.

I=E2=80=99ve done a couple. They=E2=80=99re not things of particular =
beauty, but they serve and look better than a bolt. Trouble is, no =
matter how nice the handle is, the whole valve is a pretty flimsy =
contraption and, unless appropriately greased and frequently used, =
it=E2=80=99ll probably seize up again.

Ira, The heater valve is open when the handle is in line with the hose =
and closed when 90 degrees to the hose.  Your valve doesn't look fully =
open with the handle not fully in line with the hose outlet. I see the =
original handle had to be replaced with a screw. Those brass bat handles =
tended to break off at times where it threaded in to the valve stem.  =20

Hello all,
Preparing to install my alum radiator. Thought I would flush the cooling =
system.
Which diretion direction does water flow? From block though=20
Shut off vavle into heater core, or through pipe and back into block =
through the shut off valve?
Is my valve in open ir closed position? Heater controls not reinstalled =
yet. Unit get hot so Ill asume open, but want to confirm. Removed =
thermostat to help water flush ststem easier. Im going to add extra hose =
and splice in a water hose bib. That way I can remove it and put system =
back in place.
Im off this week, but the rain gods are laughing at me. So I'm just =
getting everything ready for the sweet spot of having time and sunshine =
so I can back the car out of the garage and flush the system. I plan to =
drain the anti freeze and fill with flush chemicals and water when I'm =
ready to flush. Bought new anti freeze for my new radiator.
Driving season is fast approaching.
Happy roads and saftey fast
