1970 heater valve mounting

[Cratos]

I have a 1970 rt that has factory, I got a new heater valve and two mounts, but nothing seems to line up I should not have to drill mounting holes in a factory air car?

I can only get one hole to line up with the brackets can I just mount it to the fender well those two-hole line up with the valve. or will that be too much vibration for the plastic valve?

photos would help .

You need to make sure that the heater control valve is for an E-body. Several places sell a valve that looks very similar but has the wrong cable/valve plate. There are several different mounts available also. Can you give a picture of the complete valve including the number that is stamped in ink on it ? Thanks.

I think you use both brackets. I'll pull the cover off of my Challenger tomorrow and check the mount.

Take a look at this.

Neither of those brackets is correct. I have new repros if I can find them in my mess. $40 + shipping. Moparleo's pic has the right one.

Should be around $10. The picture 72RoadRunner GTX shows is not one of mine, but mine look the same. I do not include bolts.

Thanks, to Quapman for the mount once it gets here, I am getting closer to firing up this bad boy!

Another six-pack A/C car. I see you are running cast exhaust manifolds. A word of caution, the original style heater valves did not last long originally due to radiated heat from the exhaust manifolds, especially the HP manifolds. Many developed cracks and leaked in short order. You may want to consider adding a heat shield to prolong its life.

Yea I was wondering if anyone had done that any chance you have a templet ?

 

[72RoadRunnerGTX]

I do, send an email to doug@72rrgtx.com, I’ll reply with an attachment, should retain the scale that way.
