    A12 - time to get busy

    When I was 13 or 14 an older guy moved in across the street with a 57 chevy, with a corvette 327 fuel injected engine, we used to wax the moonies for him. The start of my interest in cars. every now & then we would hunt the junk yards for parts, pick up a chrome tidbit for a couple of bucks...

    It's amazing how the used prices have climbed , just from the 1st cuda to second, things doubled & tripled. I bet if I searched now they doubled again!

    So after wasting 1/2 hour taking trim off the front of the dash & see no way to get the heater control out I crawl under to find 3 screws from the back!!! So I fight with that for a while & get it to a position I can put the cable on the control. When I lined up the 2 cables the new looked like...

    I did something like that with the hood release cable (not sure what I put down it, WD40, or just plain oil?) Anyway was thinking of oiling the new one. I did see a post on the cables, mine seemed a touch long, I had it way back at the edge of the clip, that's what popped out. but was the only...

    So the Boy also reported he had no heat, so I checked that out today, the cable popped out of the clip on the valve on the inner fender, I do remember it was right on the edge to get the full throw on the valve, so I tried slicing a hard plastic tube to extend it fully into the clip, looked like...

    Now that I think about reassembly the top of the dash is held in by 4 small bolts that go in at each end of the defroster slots, so that's not it!

    Looked around a bit today, checked the important stuff, gas pedal, brake pedal can't see any studs or hanging bolts with no nuts, trying to remember what the dash hold down nuts looked like, pretty sure they were studs into those lips under the windshield?
