    What Heater Cables Do I Need?

    I'm rebuilding the heating system on my '71T coupe and can't seem to sort out which cable length/part number etc. I need for the actual cables (the piano wire type cables specifically). I'm having difficulty finding the pieces in PET but I think I need 2 cables that run from the heater lever at the shifter base to the flapper boxes. I've got the flappers boxes in the works and I'm ordering new cable guide tubes and rubber end grommets so all I think I need are the cables (original orange hoses are still serviceable). Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance,

    It is one cable with a 180 degree bend at the heater lever. The bend is not quite in the middle of the cable, the longer side goes to the 1-2-3 side of the engine.

    Ed,

    Thanks for the reply, still a little confused though. It's one cable not two since there are 2 cable guides under the car? Do you know the part number for this cable? Thanks,

    Yes, it's one cable. It's a big V, joint part at the lever each end goes out it's own guide.
    Part # is 90142470105

    Mark..

    Cool, thanks. I'll try and get one ordered. Hopefully I can get my heater sorted and drive when it's 15 degrees in the morning without freezing.

    Without benefit of the parts book I believe it is the same part number. The cables are longer than necessary so I think they also work with the more forward position of the SWB heater lever.

    Yes, appears to be the same for 65.
