I was wondering if anyone had come up with new seals for inside the flapper boxes. Just trying to make it so I get heat when I want it, and no heat when I dont. At the moment, it seems to leak a little, and can get a bit warm in the car. After looking at the flappers, it looks like they had some type of seal on them at one point, but not much left after 35 years. And, I have already heard the usual comments of "Buy headers and a jacket"

So far as I know, ther're no replaceable seals for the valves. Internally, they seem to be indestructible, though the outsides can get really ugly. I'd tryadjusting the cables. Sounds like that's all you need. |
