In the meantime i think i'll have to take Jim's suggestion and loop the heater hoses i dont want to leave the car sitting in pieces with all this nice weather we're having. Would this suffice or should i pursue original design parts like nbaum suggested? There also seems to be a little dampness around the outlet tube? of the thermostat valve that goes behind the heater core, which i assume connects to a heater hose.Īny idea if the valve is hard to replace? Looks like i need to remove the heater core which means removing the entire air box which has a couple of reeaally hard to get at bolts.is there another way?Īlso, took a quick look online at one of the more prominent tbird parts sites(not sure if i can name names), and they carry a 'heater core valve kit' consisting of the cable, valve, some kind of right-angled fitting and a small oval seal. The cable behind the AC grill is broken, but upon further parts removal i found that the problem is the temperature thermostat valve - it is siezed, which probably caused the cable to break. i have been looking through many pages of the forum for info, but to no avail).Īctually nbaum you're not mistaken. 30-33 C or 85-90 F, but i would think that it shouldnt be as hot as it is beneath the dash right now - am i wrong?)Īny replies would be greatly appreciated (p.s. how in-depth is it)?

My understanding is that the air vents should allow outside air to come in through the vents (the temp.

Has anyone replaced this cable before, and if so what is involved (ie. I started taking off a few more dash panels looking to see where the cable leads to and decided that research would probably be in my best interest at this point. I took off the A/C dash vent and noticed that the wire inside the cable that attaches to the slider is broken, and it wont budge even with pliers. The A/C doesnt work, and there is nothing but extremely hot air coming in beneath the dash - even with the air vents open. Hey All, sorry ahead for the long post - newbie here with a '63 convertible w/AC looking for info on replacing the cable that attaches to the temperature slider control.
