Question : heater control cable placement ????

Post by kaptnkaos »

Hey guys...

I'm getting ready to reinstall my heater box and controls...
Does any one know, or have pics of where the control cables from the dash hook onto the heater box ???
I know one's gotta go thru the firewall to the water flow valve, but not sure which cable goes where on the box
I should have taken pics before taking it out... :doh:

Thanks again,

Sit tight Kaptn. I'll have pics in a minute as my heater unit is partially out and still has the cables connected. Gotta quick charge my batteries! Check back in a few unless someone beats me to it.

Whoa! Sorry it took so long! A buddy of mine stopped by and I had to do a little welding for him.
Anyway, the long cable is the one that mounts on the highest control arm and goes through the firewall to the valve:

Here's the one that mounts on the left arm of the control lever (the pen and finger point to the same cable):

And this one mounts to the right arm of the same control lever:

As far as the different lengths of the two shorter cables, I'm not positive but I'm thinking that the shorter of the two goes on the left arm. I hope this helps! Good luck! :thup:
