Re: Heater Vacuum Control - Replacement with NAPA HC205?

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome Mike! Cool wagon you picked up there! 

I think the modifications involve re-routing the vacuum lines to the appropriate tips on the HC205 switch, which are not in the same "order" our years' Mopars. I also recall, hopefully correctly, that the new switch has an extra vacuum nipple that you ignore or cut off. Someone correct me if I'm in error, please.

http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.org/ml-62-65heaters.html gives a review, thanks to Kevin.

There is also a guy in TX named Anthony Powell who can rebuild your '62s old switch better than new. He is listed on the 62-65 vendor's page.

Thanks,
Gary H.

>I've got a 1962 Chrysler Newport wagon that I'm in the process of replacing the heater control valve on.  My cable control arm was also bent (no doubt from a previous stuck valve), so I removed the heater control switch assembly.  Unfortunately one of the (7) plastic vacuum nipples was broken (should have read the tip about just cutting/splicing the vacuum hoses!), and I wonder how many others will break when I try to reinstall it.
