Hi Guys,
It appears my car has a throttle lever where the heater lever is supposed to be. So I need to find a near perfect heater lever so I can replace the one in my car. Here is a picture of what it should look like for reference. Yes, this is my car before it was disassembled. Apparently my lever was lost in transit.

Check dc auto. I just tried to buy a hand throttle from them, but they sent a heater lever instead. Easy mistake to make. They ended up finding a correct hand throttle and letting me keep the heater lever. It looked like they had more heater levers when they sent me pics to choose from. Price was $50.

I was going to use the one they sent me in a 6 conversion/backdate, but would rather see it in a real 6 if you can’t come up with the correct one.

Good luck,
Tom

Try 914Rubber. I’ve purchased heater and throttle knobs from Mark in the past.

I am looking for the actual correct metal heater lever for a non-console car, not the knob.

Michael,

Saw your pm but couldn’t reply with pics.

Here are the photos dc auto sent me of a heat lever side by side with the hand throttle I bought. They should still have the heat lever. Give them a try. 800-579-2410 ask for Rex.

I’d like to keep the one I have in case I need it, but will sacrifice it for the real six if you can’t find one this week.

Hi Tom,
I will give them a call as that does appear to be a heater lever next to the hand throttle lever. I have one other source on it and want to give him a chance to come up with one.
Cheers. Michael
