Heater Cables 1969

Q: Heater Cables 1969

My heater cables are broke on my 1969 Firebird. How do I hook these up?

A: I just fixed a broken heater cable one of my 1969 birds. I’m way behind on reading this digest so maybe someone has already covered it. I’ll keep it very short and you can drop me a line if more detail is necessary. Assume this is not the A/C vacuum type. Three cables, all cables have mounting tabs that go on the controller end, each tab is color coded. Blue tab controls defrost and hooks on top and left on the controller and to the defrost gate near the gas pedal. Black tab controls heater on/off and hooks on top and right on same slide as defrost cable (controlled by same lever). Other end of on/off cable hooks almost exactly opposite of defrost cable on passenger side. Red tab cable hooks on bottom of controller and controls temp. The other end of temp cable goes on top of the heater core box behind the glove box.
