Also,there is a table of contents at the beginning and you can guess what page you want and go back and forth a little to dial it in by changing the page number up in the browser. Still tedious but a lot quicker than page by page.

Take another look, I think Joe’s answer handles both questions.

Good stuff Jim. Thanks. I’ll report back.

Oh, that is the tube you were taking about. I thought you meant the actual heater hose connection but had second thoughts after I posted.

Is that an actual capillary tube or just a thick copper wire that transfers heat?

[62cutlassconvert]

Sounds good Jim. Did you coat the lens and housing with any oil or anything to aid in the release or did it just peal off once you got it right?

Thanks

I believe you will need to remove the heater box with core in order to remove the valve. It has the temp sensor attached to it with the copper wire that goes inside the box and onto the back side of the core. I had mine rebuilt by Old Air and didn’t get into it so I don’t know if that connection is something that can be disconnected inside the valve, would be nice if it is.
I guess if you don’t care about the “automatic” temperature holding feature of the valve you could cut the sensor wire and leave it in place while just removing the valve which I believe will function in a fully manual mode without the sensor wire.
Someone here must know more.

It’s about 3/4″ long and an OD of about 9/16″.

Good going. Congratulations on a unique project.

Here’s some pictures of the bolt for the vertical over-rider. The bolt is a carriage bolt, 1/4″ course with the spacer shown. The bolt slips into the flat sided hole at the bottom of the over-rider, then the spacer goes on, then it contacts the lower valance at the boss and washer and the nut go on the back. Knew I had this somewhere and just found it. Uses a carriage bolt to keep it from turning since you can’t get to the head of the bolt. Should be able to find something that works at you local ACE.

Mine cleaned up a little over too, in fact they sanded them smooth instead of turning to do the minimum and then they lined the shoes with thicker linings. Work good.
