Re: Rebuilding a deluxe heater in a 62

The picture of the heater core in this pic has the heater control valve mounted directly to the core. Its the little balck box to the left of the heater hoses and connected to the core. This valve & core combo are no longer made or reproduced. The valves can be rebulilt and the core can be replaced with the one in the pic above that you provided. The problem is that the heater valve is cable operated in the pic on this post....the core that you have in the post above does not have a cable operated heater control valve. you would have to install one or take the new core and have the old tanks taken off the old core and reinstalled. I just had to do the same thing to retain my dash operated 4 lever heater core control valve. Yours in the pic below looks complete except for the blower motor, and cage. The unit out of the 65 does not have cable operated heater control valve on the core, so I dont know if its a manual valve in the engine compartment how its operated. The dash is different, so Im not sure of the compatability of the units. There was a very good thread on all the differences in the heaters from 60-66 about two weeks ago. I found the post: Heaters. Check it out. There are alot of little differences in the different years
