Got to do a little work to tidy up on Kermit.
Indicators all work- check
Lights all work - Check
Set the timing to about 15 BTDC and set points to 18 thou - check
adjusted choke and accelerator cables - check
charged up battery - check
made a clip to hold the heater control cable on the heater valve and it opens an closes - check
Runs well - check check check woohoo
Except there's a small leak in the heater valve......
I have had a search though the tech wiki and the heater that came with Kermit is marked NISSAN and SMITHS. That is why the heater cock valve is different. It must be a non JDM market thing. It also has screws holding the front on rather than the half moon spring clips like on the Ute (later versions).. the lever/control is not a loop but goes though a hole. Finally the electrics are on the right rather than the left.
I have searched the internet and can't find the exact heater cock valve to replace it with and I have had it apart more than once and it is not sealing properly so I would rather find the right part than change it over to something else if possible.
Here are some pictures of the heater for reference.... any ideas welcome
