IML: Heater & A/C Actuator

["Mel Wyshynski" <mvwyshy@xxxxxxx>]

Hello All

 

I could use some assistance locating a vacuum actuator that is part of the heater & A/C push button assembly.

I have a 1959 LeBaron equipped with heater and air.

The actuator is the plastic part that the 5 pushbutton controls fit into and it has 7 small vacuum tubes as well as 4 prongs to attach wiring. The part no. on the side of the actuator is 1342505 (note that the number 1 is almost obliterated and I am guessing that it is a 1).

I have talked to Lowell and he says he is reluctant to try and remove one for sale as they are brittle and usually end up damaged.

He suggested getting a new one and I agree it is a good idea but where?

Lowell mentioned "Moss Motors" but he did not know where they were located.

Anyone have any suggestions including repairing the one I have?

Thanks for any help
