Hot and Cold Adjuster Cable
My hot and cold adjustment cable is working fine, but at the end where it attaches to the heater core box, the lever broke. Can anyone tell me if the lever only can be replaced or does the lever come with the shaft. Then, to replace the shaft, do I need to pull open the heater core box to also replace the baffle that the lever and cable control? How much of a pain is this?
Thanks,
Scott

heater box lever arm
Hey, I have not yet fixed mine, but I did get the entire heater box at a good price from Hawks. It is in the attic. I think that is the fix, replace the entire unit unless you can do a spot weld or something. I will get to it some time next summer

The cable connection point broke on my '87 IROC and I was able to pickup a replacement air-flap door at the wrecking yard. The metal where the cable connects is some sort of pot metal, so it can't be repaired. Changing the air-flap door was awkward but not impossible ... easier than than changing the heater core which is a PITA. If the connection point breaks again, I'll fabricate some sort of fitting out of steel or brass and silver solder it in.

Re: Hot and Cold Adjuster Cable
PITA?? I smell antifreeze when driving which leads me to believe the core is leaking. Not sure what you mean by PITA but I've heard you have remove the entire dash, UGH! Any other ideas?
