Black Valves

[P & D]

Thanks for all the ideals.

Curt Sprenger came by the house today and
we went thru the coach and learned more things about it. As we looked at the
valves he determined that they are manual valves and that we can order from Dupree
products the replacement guts for them.

Thanks again to all for the help, sure
makes owning a Bluebird much easier
