So this is something that my '70 does not have, correct? If that is the case, would it be good to add, assuming compatibility with the existing system?

Not everyones ! Mine stay down for more than 12 months. They were still down after I stripped the car for a repaint after it engine fire. I had forgotten they were fail safe and they hit me when I pulled off the vacuum line and they came up after the car had not been run for a year.

maybe the valve had melted in the heat and was stuck to the seat

Nope the solenoid still works perfectly
it was well away from where the fire was and suffered no damage . Before the fire the lights would stay down as long as it did not drive the car, which over the years included periods of months when I was away travelling on holidays of work.
