Heater Flapper Box Question Options

[curt914]

Hi Folks

I'm getting ready to put all the heating stuff back into my ‘73 2.0. Got a box full of this stuff.

But first, I’m going to get the J tubes, heater control valves (aka flapper boxes) and other metal tubes and bits powder coated.

Here’s the thing though. In this box of stuff, I have three heater control valves, two of which are in pretty good shape.

But it seems there is a difference in left to right heater control valves.

Both Pelican and AA have different numbers for the left to right.

With them sitting on the bench I don’t see any difference in any of them. That may mean the ones I'm looking at on the bench are all from one side.

So .. what’s the difference between them…left to right.

Thanks much.

Curt,

I just got done doing this, after replacing my 2.0 -75 stuff with backdated 74 s.s.h.e's. the flapper boxes cleaned up easy, just use rustoleum rust remover and rust primer- then final coat, cost much less that powdercoating.I did this on my tubes and the flapper boxes. A few hours of cleaning, polishing and primer and paint, took less than an hour to get them back in place, but then i found out the 75 cables are shorter than those needed for the 74's ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) by about a half-inch! you should not have that problem. Also the fit is very tight, so dont paint up to the edges, or they will not slide together easily- im refering to the vertical j-tube and the s tube- ask me how i know- (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

but all is worth it, now i have more heat than i need! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

Good luck!
