Member Posts: 41 Location: Langley BC Canada | Hi I'm going to try and attach a pic, so wish me luck, but... on the heater box (under hood) there is the fan to the left with a 5" or so duct pointing to the drivers side of car. The heater box in the middle has a heater duct pointing to the passenger side. There's about a 1" gap between them. I'm guessing there's supposed to be a semi-flexible union between these. what has anyone used to replace this piece? also on passenger side of firewall there is a cable activated heat control valve. Mine has a small leak. Is there any replacements out there, or has anyone successfully modded from a more available model of car? | ||

I don't see one on the factory or if there's supposed to be one maybe its snapped off? Does everyone just find a way to plumb that tube into the heat box, float it in the interior, or disable it? Didn't see anything with a recommendation on that. | ||

Just a big rubber band. In a pinch, you could accomplish what needs to be done with black duct tape (I'll never tell): (I just searched Hiltop Mopar, Len Dawson Mopar and Grease Monkey Garage with "1689674" and came up with nothing. You could try Andy Bernbaum, Steele Rubber, Kanter and/or Quirey/Gary Goers) Edited by 56D500boy 2021-09-12 7:30 PM | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1107 Location: Arvada, Colorado (NW Denver Metro Area) | I did not see if anyone answered you on the missing part from the fan to the heater box/plenum. It is a large and wide rubber band size piece of rubber that seals that cap. I will take a pic of mine today and send it to you. I may have an extra one of these you can have for free, just pay postage. John | ||
