Hello,
I need some help I have a 1937 115c touring sedan which I would like to install a model H heater defroster in correctly . I have the heater restored I have found all the information on the heater unit to do the restoration.
I don't have the information on the proper under hood plumbing/ parts needed and placement. How to wire it . Do you need a defroster switch and a heater switch and what kind and where to place them. If anybody out there have the Harrison model H heater could take some detailed picture of the switches and Plumbing I would be most grateful to you. If anyone has a wiring diagram that would be a great help . I'm also in the market for the correct switches and a defroster deflector . I will attach a picture of my car and some pre restoration heater pictures . I would be so grateful for any help and pictures it would really help me out. If you need anymore information please ask.
Thanks
AL

G'day Alfred,
to PackardInfo, but sorry I can't assist with your query. Hopefully someone experienced in that area will be along soon to do so.

However I invite you to include your very good looking '37 115C Touring Sedan in the Packard Owner's Registry.

Welcome. You may want to look at the 1937 120 and Six accessory catalog in the Literature and Manuals section under the Main Menu on this site. There may be a photograph or illustration that will help in your heater defroster questions. Also, David Flack (The Flackmaster) knows all about the 1937s and may even have the parts and pieces you need.

Thanks JW
I have a copy and While it does show the heater it is just that a picture and basic info . I did send a pm to Flackmaster Thank You very much

Alfred, there was a group of 1937 120Cs and 115Cs that were just featured in the Random Photo. Some interior shots showed the defroster deflector. You can view them all on the Photo Archive. I used to live in Walnut Creek. That is a most attractive Six Touring Sedan you have.

Don't pretend to know if there is much similarity between a 15 and 17 series install but if there is, maybe some info could be found in this 17th series writeup.
