OK, so I now realize that every system in my 55 Wagon requires replacement or refurb. Only stuff that works is what I have had my hands on.

So todays topic is the heater and the heater control. Its got the deluxe heater.

I pulled the heater box and control panel and blower. Installed a new core, control valve, blasted and painted everything. Installed new cables, new gaskets. NOS heater switch- the whole deal. So today I put it together and all went reasonably well until I got to the heater control.

It needed levers, knobs, a switch- total rebuild. So I pulled it apart, put it together, tried the levers and....
one slightly bound while the other freely swung. I looked at the housing and it looks like it has a twist. I dont have another to compare it to. Is that normal? I could see the lower cable retainers were staggered so perhaps the twist is correct but I just dont know.

I looked at a couple on Ebay but couldnt tell.

Thanks, Scorp
