Vacuum tested working hot water valve for Mercury Cougars and Ford Mustangs equipped with factory A/C. This valve stops the flow of warm coolant to the heater core when the A/C is on. These valves have been cleaned, serviced and tested. We replace the mounting bracket when necessary. We guarantee these will not leak but we do not install them on a car and run them for a few hours. If the one we sell you leaks upon installation, we will exchange it at no cost. Please watch our informative video on how these valves work and where they are prone to fail.
Ford part # C7ZZ-18495-A, casting number on vacuum valve C7ZA-18C310-A.
