Flapper Valve Adjustment for Ventilation System

Posted by steve828 On 2011/10/14 4:06:20

I have the optional cabin heater on my 1954 Packard Clipper Super. When I adjust the control levers on my dashboard so as to distribute heat to the cabin, the right diverter valve under the dash does not shut completely tight to force the incoming air up into the heater box. I have attempted adjusting the Bowman cable that runs from the dash control lever to the right (driver's right) diverter valve but it's pretty tough to do after the cable has been crimped and curled around the little lever pin that controls the valve. Is there an easier way/any suggestions?
I suppose I could tape the right diverter valve closed for winter running and then untape it for the warmer months.
