Default Looking for Heater Control

I'm looking for a new or used heater control switch for my 81. I understand that they were the same from 77-82.

I have bought two new aftermarket units that dont work.

Needs to be factory GM. Any Bites?

Try forum member paulywannafly. He has a shop just north of N.Y.C. I bought a frame from him a couple of months ago and I had a look around his parts cache. I could just about guarantee that he would have an original heater control in there somewhere.

Paulywannafly was a help although i did locate a GM dealer that had just the vacuum switch module, felt way different than China aftermarket (Eklers) and worked the nuts.

That was a tough problem to work through. Bottom line is, Stick w GM products whenever possible.

Thanks for all your help and on to my next winter project,

Frank
