Again, I've been asked to make correct length heater cables. Apparently the ones on the market are a little too short. These have to be exactly the correct length otherwise they don't reach, and if they are too long the bind up in the flapper arm assembly and will not allow full travel of the flapper, making your heat on not fully on when selected.
These will be nylon coated cables pre-bent for the install at the lever. I've also included 2 free heater cable nipples to seal up the tubes while you are there. So, who's interested? These will be ready in about a week. And who can resist free nipples? Making the 70-74, and the 75-75 version Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

That's good, because it it is, I have the one from my 75 and I would have the 2 parts to make these.
How can you tell? Looks like an appearance group lever, but that could be later. |

Mark,
How did the cable you made for your 75 work out? Does it have back-dated exhaust? What are the lengths of the driver & passenger side? I’m interested in a new cable for my ’76 which has back-dated exhaust (SSI exchangers and J tubes) and a NOS passenger flapper box. I read from another post that an early cable (70-74, 38 x 40?) should be used for back-dated exhaust. However I am using a cable that measures 38 ¾ (say 39) x 41 with a piece clamped onto the long (passenger) side to make it 43”. That doesn’t seem to match any length previously discussed. Interested to know what lengths others with back-dated exhaust are using before I order one. This is some weird business as I have 3 old cables that measure 38 x 40 ¼ (70-74), 39 x 41 ¾ and 38 ½ x 41 (with some small error due to measuring old cables with bends). If late model cable is reportedly shorter that early, and /6 shorter still, what application is a 38+ x 41+ for? Hope I'm not confusing things further... |
