Steve,

It looks to me like they used a compression nut in place of the 45° flare nut. Something to be aware of that I found when I swapped my L model heater control valve for an electronic version is that the fitting is not a standard 3/8" SAE flare with 18TPI threads. It is actually a 3/8" BPPT, British Parallel Pipe Thread, that is 19TPI. It's hard to tell but a thread gauge tells the story. You can't find that flare nut at your local ACE Hardware. I ended up using the original flare nut on the heater core and made a fitting to match on the lathe. Then I relocated the control valve to the engine compartment. Good luck.
