| I am blessed with the last hurrah of the forward look, the fabulous 1964 Dodge Custom 880 2 dr HT. As usual, all of the vacuum tubes on the back of my push button heater control switch are broken off, and so the system does not work. I have found a zillion of the repro AC switches on the net, ebay etc., but I need the NON AC switch, part no 2290-089 or equivalent. Where, oh where, can I actually find one? |

MoPar used the same unit for several loooong years in various vehicles.
Because of this take it into a local NAPA and ask if they can match the design. All you know is it came from "an ole MoPar" --- that did not have A/C.
--------------------
If the unit is all broken ---- then you also need some better Vac Hose.

Location: Ottawa, ON | if it's not too far gone you could repair the switch yourself. It's not that difficult.

That doesn't help if the hose nipples are broken off like the OP's. |

Location: Ottawa, ON | You are of course right, I should have read OP's post more careful. However, you can repair those nipples as well. I repaired them by drilling the broken nipples to the same size and then glued brass tube of the correct OD into the holes using JB weld or something similar. I think I have more detailed instructions on that as well somewhere |

Location: Ottawa, ON | I've fixed a couple of heater control switches by finding just the right size brass tubing to fit inside the nipples and cutting it just long enough to match the length from flush inside the switch housing to the tip of the nipple. The brass tubing is available at some hardware stores and most good hobby shops. Cut the piece to length, coat outside of brass tube with JB Weld, insert in porthole on switch body and slide broken plastic nipple back in place over the tubing and wipe off any excess on nipple or smooth surface of inside switch housing and make sure the tube is clear. Let set overnight, put it back together. These switch assemblies are held together by 1/8 inch plastic rivets. I cut the heads off with an Exacto knife then drill them out and tap holes and replace with miniature allen head screws from a hobby shop. Then you have a serviceable switch that can be easily disassembled
