I was out puttering around on the Dart today, putting new motor mounts in, changing the oil, etc., and I noticed the manifold heat valve was frozen. I got it loose, but it's far from "free." Does anyone know which direction is open on one of these? Until it's totally free, I want to make sure it's letting the exhaust straight out. Thanks! Oh yeah, this is on a '65 170. |

The top edge lays toward the block the bottom edge towards the wheel so clockwise will open counter to close. |

Great! Thanks! It looks like it was frozen shut. |

Just to make sure I'm thinking straight here...if I rotate it counterclockwise, all exhaust is going out the pipe, and not being diverted up to the carb. Is that right?

Been a while since I have looked , but I think that sounds backwards. Richard |
