I may do that anyhow, though I thought it was closer to $20.. I replaced
the valve on the '72 2 winters ago..

All of the heater hoses but the one from the valve to the core are "new"
as of 2 years and 5k miles ago.. since, when I took the '72 in for the
core flush, they had to cut the old (25yr) hoses off and replace 'em
all.. but when I changed motors, I left the valve and the short hose to
the core in place just to make the swap easier.. but maybe I'll replace
the short hose and the valve at the same time.
