Default Heater control valve

78 D100. The heater control valve won’t move. How do you get it unstuck?

I'd pull the wire off it and make sure the valve is stuck, not the cable. I've seen both the cable and the valve get stuck over the years.

I did that. The cable is good, the valve not so much.
Found a few of them. Prices are in Canadian $. Napa USA $102, Napa Canada $79, Partavatar.ca $50, Summit $40, Rock auto has 4 different brands from $11-28.
