That stuff looks like air conditioning insulating foam. Not auto ac, the building kind. Comes in many sizes.

Heater water valve

I've been reading the posts. My fresh air heater draws air from the right side louvers. On.my 1955 F-100. The heater core has a bottom and top in let. The hot water valve attaches to the bottom inlet. It mechanical and was taken water off the water pump and returned to the by pass behind the thermostat. My engine is a 312 Y Block with a thunderbird dual exhaust. The three holes that mounted the original water valve attach holes are there but the bracket is gone. And Unobtainable unless I find one on Ebay. Also the original water valve is no longer manufactured. According to mid America Ford. So I bought the NAPA mechanical valve. It's brass and should last with water pump Lube. We shall see. AJ

You can probably get an original style heater valve that mounts on the intake from Prestige Thunderbird. It will be vacuum operated. I’m not familiar with the other under-dash components of your year, and whether that would work for you or not. I hate those cable-operated heater water valves….
