    Temperature control cable

    Anybody know where I can buy the correct cable that runs between the temperature control module to the water valve in the engine compartment on a '74 with AC? I have bought several but they're all too short and I don't care if it's new or used as long as it works.

    Hate to resurrect a thread but does anyone know what control cable fits the water valve to interior controls with AC on a '74? I ordered one from Classic specifically for the car but it's too short and I was thinking of getting the one for a Barracuda that's about a foot longer but a slightly...

    Instrument cluster voltage regulator

    When I bought the car it had a Classic Dash and all electronic gauges but there was no way to mount the heater/AC controls with the lights and wiper controls just hanging. I took it all out and after returning the hacked up original cluster to a reasonable appearance I've been installing...

    That looks like the same or similar type of valve. Did you have to drill new holes?

    Right now it is or was hanging from what Ford calls an export brace by a tie wrap. This is the first Plymouth I've tried to restore and the nomenclature is different than Mustangs and I'm sure it's called something else. The bracket is the same as your picture but the holes in the fender well...

    I'm not trying to be difficult and the valves that are referenced are the ones like the one I have in the car. The problem is the existing holes on the fender well don't match the holes in the valve. As I said before there is an adaptor plate shown on Classic Industries but the valve should fit...

    The manuals I have were produced by Chrysler in '74 and reprinted by a company that supplies various body styles and brands but apparently they made a bunch of mods on the '74 that are different than previous years. The valve on the AC cars stops the flow to the heater coils and reroutes it back...

    Thanks for the link but I have the valve, I just don't know how it's supposed to be attached to the car. I found some kind of adapter plate on the Classic industries site that is out of stock that might work but the thing should just bolt on some way without it. I've also tried to find a picture...

    I bought both reprinted copies of the service (shop) manuals but they don't go into detail or have illustrations of the heater control valve. Since the service/shop manuals cover every body type developed by Chrysler in '74 the detailed drawings show locations of various parts but not how...

    I hate to continue sounding like a newby but to Plymouth products I guess I am. Every time I try to do research to find a part things come up that have no relation to what I'm looking for. Trying to find a speedometer cable for a '74 RR produced things that might fit other models but not a '74...

    Horn installation help

    Thanks for the help and after looking at the drawings I think I need to keep looking for parts since everything I have is a little incomplete.

    Horn installation help

    Is there a diagram or instructions showing the correct way to install all the components in a '74 steering wheel horn? The car came with a different steering wheel and inoperative horn and I would like to install the old steering wheel.. I think I have all the parts, I just don't know the...

    Instrument cluster voltage regulator

    Thanks again and if the wiring connections shown in the second image is correct I think that may be why my limiter failed. As found, the 12V supply was connected to the 5V output with the 5V and suppressor connected to the double terminal.

    Instrument cluster voltage regulator

    Thanks a million and out of desperation I have already ordered the one from Walmart which is the only one that came up in the search. It's great to know people and web sites where a newby can learn a few things and in detail which is also great. The original limiter, to use the correct term had...

    Instrument cluster voltage regulator

    Started trying to restore my original instrument cluster but I think the voltage regulator is shot. Trying to find a replacement online I kept getting an image of something that doesn't look like the one that was on the back of the panel. The only one I found that resembles the one that was on...

    Original Ammeters

    Thanks, I've seen that before and it pretty much follows the wiring fix of the old posting. Since the ammeter hasn't been in the circuit I going to wire the system according to the attached drawing and the final drawing of the video. I found a digital volt meter on Amazon that I think I can...

    Original Ammeters

    Thanks for all the comments. My question came up when I started unraveling the wire hacks in the car and found the ten gauge red and black wires cut which basically made the ammeter inoperable. The PO had wire nutted the red and black wires together through a fused connector. At some point the...

    Original Ammeters

    How many still have the original ammeter and have you had any problems with it. I'm trying to reinstall the original instrument panel and the PO cut the 10 gauge wire that I assume went to the ammeter. Being a prior Mustang restoration guy I continued to use the old ammeter even though there...
