Re: Heater Vacuum Control - Replacement with NAPA HC205?

[Bill <Y1TopBanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

I dealt with Anthony on mine when I had him re-build my switch. I
don't remember the amount but it wasn't that expensive and he did a
nice job.

I also recall, hopefully correctly, that the new switch has an extra vacuum nipple that you ignore or cut off. Someone correct me if I'm in error, please.

>>Hi,

>>I've got a 1962 Chrysler Newport wagon that I'm in the process of replacing the heater control valve on.  My cable control arm was also bent (no doubt from a previous stuck valve), so I removed the heater control switch assembly.  Unfortunately one of the (7) plastic vacuum nipples was broken (should have read the tip about just cutting/splicing the vacuum hoses!), and I wonder how many others will break when I try to reinstall it.
