how about after-market knobs on a 61. bought new ones as i was missing one. the new ones don't have the metal insert to hold it on the lever. what do you do to to make them stay on?

[Bigffjoe]

I almost bought some of the new heater knobs too, I thought they would come with the clips.

Looking for recommendations on a Replacement Core.
Saw a couple posts suggesting SPECTRA PREMIUM 94788 Heater Core

[LostMy65]

Does anybody know the difference between Classic Parts and LMC's Deluxe Heater Core.
Other than ClassicPart's being $24 more?

on Classic indus. IMHO, your paying extra for a name, unless they can show the part is made other than where LMC gets them from (possible but doubtful). I've bought over a thoughsand dollars of stuff from LMC and have not got a bum deal yet.

The more expensive aluminum heater core that classic industries sells is way better quality and fit than the copper one sold by some other vendors. I bought both and returned the cheaper one.

Does anyone know the correct resistance value for the heater fan speed resistor? I'm trying to figure out how to check them to determine whether they are good or bad.

[LostMy65]

Thanks for the reply.
I'll buy the one from LMC.

Does anybody have a good view of the inner door inside the blower housing on the 64-66 Deluxe heater? This flap is actuated by a cable that protrudes through the firewall on the inboard side of the box, adjacent to the passenger-side valve cover. I'm restoring mine, and the rubber material (the flap) on the edge of the door was missing. I had to remove the entire door, which meant cutting the lever arm off and driving the pin through.

The picture angle I need to see is where the lever arm is in relation to the door's position inside the blower housing. I'm 95% sure of where it needs to go, but I would hate to get it wrong and have the door not go open fully or be 180 degrees off of the lever position.

By the way, my heater assembly is for an A/C truck. My original box was so rusted that I'm swapping all the A/C specific parts over to a good rust-free box. I'm not sure if the flap is specific for the A/C trucks.

I don’t know whether I got a tall or short fan, but the white nylon squirrel cage is 2 ¾” tall. I picked up two at the same time so I’d have a spare (just in case) so it was easy to measure the one sitting on the shelf. Hopefully one of the sellers shows dimensions to know which is which.

[argonaut]

Okay, that must be the non-AC, shorter fan. That's what I expected. Thanks!

Hello gents,

Ran across this "all about heaters" by accident.
Just wanted to say a few words.
I've got a 63 GMC K1000 Custom Sub, and it came with a 4-lever affair / deluxe heater package. Pics 8 and 19 in this link;

My other 63 C1000 Custom Sub came with the recirc heater.

[Jeff La]

They used to call that sealer dum dum, don't know if you can find it anymore.

[of13swc]

ok so here is what I have on the inside of the engine compartment and inside the cab. can someone tell me what I have and how to get it to work.

[Swed]

Good or bad idea?

I am equipped with the inside circulation heater, and I got the idea to try to connect the incoming air to the foot vent (or make a hole) with a hose. Anyone done anything similar?

Here in northern part of europe we are not overwhelmed with high temp during summer..
And the windows gets foggy kinda often even in modern cars.. So I think I need the fresh air..

[ncoonen]

I have the deluxe heater box with factory air in my '65 C30. It has the under hood heater box on the right in the picture below. I am trying to R and R the heater core but I cannot remove the top from the heater box. I have removed all the sheet metal screws and the five bolts holding the warm air manifold to the firewall. Do I need to remove the whole assembly and split it open on the workbench? The under-dash situation inside the truck is more complex and cluttered because of the factory air so it would be nice not to have to disassemble all that to get to the mounting studs behind the blower motor.

Advice? Thanks!...ned.
