New-used monovalve installed ... I think it's working now, though I will have to try a test drive. I got it up to operating temp in the driveway and the air coming out is not blazing hot like it was before (though it's still warm, probably because it's warm out ... no A/C in this car).
Stupid question: Is it normal that the metal cylindrical part of the housing gets a bit hot (not too hot to touch, just toasty), even before the coolant got hot? Is that just heat from the electrical current? As usual, I'm nervous it's just going to burst into flames.
