Since there is not a CORRECT heater valve for 74 models due the diff bracket available, I had to buy the only one available as replacement at Advance Auto parts:
But I wasn't satisfied with the idea of cut the original bracket and attach this, or open new holes on inner fender so I decided to go with SWITCH THE BRACKETS:
I KNEW was posible, and it is. Just need to be handy:
WHAT REST FROM THE REST OF PARTS ( newer bracket and older heater parts )
- - - Updated - - -
HOWEVER there is one part that I simpy FORGOTT WHAT POSITION MUST GO! and is the valve itself inside. It has two "faces" ( showing the old piece but newer is pretty much the same ):
and
I "pre-assemblied" like this in open position ( outlet is the one facing the firewall ).
but if SOMEBODY can confirm this to correct it before make the final assembly ( meaning the final use of the HAMMER, LOL ) will be great.
Need to set the lever aligment with the valve cilinder. Everything is just preassemblied waiting for this
