heater questions

fordgtMember

I am working on the heater a/c system and I have a couple of questions.

1. I saw a post from Jack about the heater valve under the dash. I have mine out and I lubed it up and worked the lever back and forth numerous times and it now turns very smoothly. I saw that Jack wrote about the o-ring inside is what fails. Once you take the lever off the bottom that is held on by the screw how do you get to the o-ring?

2. The tubes that run under the dash look pretty nasty w/ corrosion. Is there any way to replace/bypass them? I was thinking about getting some aluminum heater tubes from Vintage Air and running them under the car alongside the radiator pipes. Has anyone tried this approach or something similar? Obviously I intend to put in shutoff valves to prevent the hot water from entering the interior of the car anyway.

Thanks
