Heater choices in 1961

[rstreet]

biscaynewagon:
The car is "down by the river" or over the hill and in a very grown up area. I don't think I can check for posi but I will remember that. The rest is somewhat easy to photograph and I will be glad to do it. I will also check about the "sale" of it if it has correct pieces for you and belairebubbletop. It has the wheels on it. I don't remember the model but it might be the cheaper brookwood. It has the rear glass broken and in a very overgrown area hence the hornets!!! Stay tuned for project "hornet car"

That's the way I remember the "hornet" car firewall and heater controls. Like I said earlier I thought it was a aftermarket heater on the firewall..
I will still try to look at the car for the wheels and anything else that a sw might have.

[rstreet]

dq409 Now that little red box is a heater..... Will it produce enough power to light argon and neon gasses in those funny little tubes

 

[rstreet]

I just noticed that you have so much spark you don't need plug wires

 

[Ronnie Russell]

No need for plug wires. The damn lifters are bad.. When are ya gonna fix that thing Jim???????

 

[dq409]

Ok ,,,,, Ok,,,,,, I`m getting closer to pulling the intake and lifters,,,

At least I`m thinking about it !! Heeee heeee

Got to spring to do it !!


but really,,,, now the car is here at home so I can just walk out the back door and into the garage where she is parked,,, no excuses to do it anymore,,,,

I`ll get right on it !!!

And I'll bet that you are going to pull the distdributor tonight for a "dimple" check with some of the rest of us

Dimple

What dimple??

 

[rstreet]

Dond409
There has been an interesting "discussion" on 348-409 engines on the post "no power above 3,500 rpm" and it has turned to where is your dimple on the distributor. Go over there and give your opinion but some of us are committing to pulling our distributors and checking our drive gear dimples!!!

Wow. This is an oldie.
Sorry, I can't help, I went with a delete plate. No heater.

The heater is part of the factory air system.

61 and 62 Chevy factory air conditioning had a factory air only heater core with a factory air only heater control valve attached to the heater core under the dash inside a heater box --- (as compared to non factory air 61 & 62's) with the heater control mounted on the heater box on the firewall under the hood.

I have found a new replacement heater cores " in the right length" and had the ends of the new cores replaced ---with the ends off the used factory air heater core --at a local radiator shop ('so they fit' the mounting brackets on the factory air heater box).
I also have the factory air heater controls rebuilt by Old Air Products. I have 3 factory air 62's -all the heater items are the same for 61 and 62 factory air cars.

I have pictures of these factory air A/C heater cores and mounting under the dash and 61 & 62 factory air only heater control valves
