Tim: Grady Research (John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>) did an overhaul/upgrade on my ’64 heater A/C control switch by replacing the deteriorated & sticky internal sliding plates that route the vacuum to the various doors. You might want to do this reasonably-priced upgrade while you have it all apart. No nipples needed replacing but I believe he does that, also. The plastic nipples have a little bigger OD than 1/8” tubing. Whilst searching for tubing to make a probe for testing the doors, I found a plastic ink tube from a ball-point pen was just about right. I now have a spare non-A/C switch core for a ’64 Sport with all the nipples broken off if you or anyone needs that. Internal condition unknown. I also have blue and black instrument panels for ’63-’64 and various and sundry gauges, switches and 120 MPG speedo’s (small s) for same. Rich Barber Brentwood, CA From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of timothytomlinson timothytomlinson@xxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300] Folks, OK, after 25 years of faultless service, my vacuum switch for the heater and vents on my 64 300-K has had half the nipples broken off by a mechanic. I need to either replace the switch or have this one repaired. My memory says there used to be a member that repaired them using brass to replace the plastic nipples. I have looked in the backs of Brute Force and Chrysler Club News with no success. I have also placed a call to J C Auto, and am awaiting a call back. The part number (this is for a non-air conditioned car) is 2290 089. This number appears on the switch and in the parts book as well. Any ideas of leads would be appreciated. Maybe I will think of a few more on my own after I cool down more. Thank you, Tim Tomlinson W.
