I love that bumper sticker.....first time I've seen that one.
My previous favorite was one my dad ran on his trucks for many years, "Make welfare as hard to get as a building permit"

Cut this old heater up needed some parts off of it to do this. I needed to fill the space between the heater and the AC my rubber was to short for a good seal. It added about a inch, Maybe could be used to fix the plastic tube reinforce inside,

Well colder weather coming worked on heater valve old one did not work, Had to use a gate valve, So I bought this one on EBay $40.00 FJ60. And then cut it and welded it in to fit in old bracket, I think this should work. pics

Ah, replacement heater valve!!!
Would a 40 valve been any easier to fit?

No I don’t think so the 40 valve has that bend in it, I guess you could cut that bend off make shorter, but the bracket doesn’t work on my 55

Well the heater valve works great, Moving on my clutch has never worked right always had to push the clutch all the way in before it would release, with the throwout bearing up against the pressure plate no adjustment left, and me grinding the gears when shifting. Well now I know why my clutch arm broke it was pushing in at the wrong (angle) but not in enough to disengage the clutch. I never checked the throwout bearing I got from Napa. I bought a new clutch kit from Valley Hybrids in Stockton. And this was the problem. The bearing was to short from Napa. I now can shift without grinding the gears thanks to Valley Hybrids

No not sure, But I think it is, This is on a 4 sp, I think 3 sp might be different that arm on mine the Hole got bigger because of the angle and wore it out, It had to push it in more at a different angle this is a pic of the bad and the good

I did a temporary fix with this, it just didn’t push it in enough. I think that was the problem I put a new used arm in and clutch kit working now as it should
Need a longer leg! 
That's a 4 sp fork but I think the rod is for a 3 sp. The 3 sp fork is stamped steel and has a dimple for the round head of your adjusting nut to ride in. The 4 sp pushrod goes through the adjusting nut and through the hole in the fork.
