I was driving my teener this morning up here in the mountains with the top off. I pull my heater lever and my 40 year old cable broke.
I have searched and read the threads on this forum. I climbed under the car and it is definitely a broken cable. Reading the forums told me the cable is one piece and loops on the lever. My question is threading the new cable. Looking under the car it looks like there is a a cable tube. Does this go all the way to the lever from the firewall? Where do you start the threading: Firewall, Lever? As usual, any advice and help will be appreciated. I think I found the correct cable on Pelican Parts: http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/...76%29%2C%20Each My teener is a 73 so it looks like this will fit? |
