Ok here is the answer ! The heater core is copper ? Cut the nuts off, trim the flare off, both can be done with a hack saw and dress them up with a file. Go get a Copper x Female Iron pipe size adapter solder it on and screw the striaght thread into it. Or buy a new heater valve or an after market one that goes in line.
