missing cable to heater control
Hi Guys,
I'm in the middle of rebuilding the interior of my 350 manual '69. When I came to refit the centre console I found two cables for the vents - that's the ones with the loop of wire at the end - but only one for the heater control. Surely there must be one for each thumb wheel but search as I might I couldn't find another one. The one that's there turns a spindle up at the heater box. Is there only one heater cable with the curly end and if so which side does it go one? Does it go round a vertical post at the bottom of the unit?
Thanks, Barry.

You didn't say if you have A/C or not, but here is a picture of a control with A/C. This is the bottom, so from the top the cable attaches to the wheel on the right. There is a round push nut that secures the cable to the post.

Hi B,
There's only one cable for the heater control.
The right side 'wheel' control the temperature of the air being supplied … hot or cold. The cable opens and closes a door in the heater box by attaching to a lever on the top of the box.
The left side wheel controls vacuum operated functions.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan and Ole Dave - must've spent three hours looking for a cable that doesn't exist! I should have said it was without A/C but your diagrams have clarified how to attach the cable. Now I can get on with the rebuild.
Regards, Barry.
