Anyone know where to buy one of these?

Mine is a 3 way vacuum operated. I got a good vaccum operator of Dr Terry today, but I need the switch part as it and my original are all rotted out. Rares have a 2 way version but I cannot find a 3 way.

Do you want the vacuum operated valve that goes in the heater hoses?
If so, Ecotec V6 commodores run a 4 way one - you could cap off the 4th port.

Or you could plumb the system like a VS-VY where the heater core is entirely bypassed when the tap is "off" - the water is rerouted back to the water pump, instead of being dead-headed at the valve.

Cheers,

Mick

Just thinking along the lines that a lot of GMH gear from the era has its origins in US GM. Havent looked into this site, but it might help.
