I need to look at what holds that valve in, can't just a o-ring and a push
I need to get a manual and do some studying. There's a lot on this 64 I have not seen before.I need to look at what holds that valve in, can't just a o-ring and a push

yeah, when you get below 66 **** gets weird
my car has 1961 parts in it also which are really odd...
Factory ac cars have heater hose running on drivers side. Heater pipes are about in the center of firewall but lower than just a heater car. On my 64 fury with factory ac.
Black rubber plugs behind drivers side valve cover is for heater hose on heater only cars.

Heater valve has a plate around the valve with two screws holding it to the heater box. Then a long copper coil slides into the heat discharge to regulate the temp.

Different year of course but my 65 500 is a factory a/c car. All the plumbing was right behind the distributor[ on the 318]. Heater, expansion valve etc. All got capped off and moved since I'm using a 70 K-frame which moves the engine back 1.5".
That was what leaked on my 65. I do remember sending it out for repair. Maybe the same guy that was mentioned in earlier posts.

I will ask the previous owner/builder of my car if he made any changes to the heater hose outlet routing. Everything I see for a 64 Dodge 440 shows they should be upper drivers side outlet. The change seems like alot of work. I'll see him at the Mopars in the Park show. All ready have my wristbands
Yikes! I replaced the alternator because the old one was screaming at times. The new one is nice and quiet. I unplugged the regulator wire and found this. Only 2 strands left. I'm surprised it was still charging.

Gee. It's only 61 years old. I wonder if it is under warranty ??

I am running out of time this afternoon so I will just post some photos of my afternoon's to do list.
I installed the alternator. I posted pucs above.
I got the seat belts mounted as well as the dash pad. (kind of a turd) I used plastic Christmas trees instead of those metal door panel clips. Much easier to work with.
I adjusted the torsion bars. They were 1 1/2" low on the drivers side. I got it within less than a half inch and ran out of energy. I'll fine tune it next time. It sure does feel better over bumps in the road. It bounces straight up and down now.
I hooked up the timing light, checked the timing, slowed down the idle a bit and adjusted the mixture. .
I guess that's enough for today.

That's about 3 weekends worth of work for me
Me too. I'm pretty pooped. Getting up and down a half dozen times adjusting the torsion bars did me in.That's about 3 weekends worth of work for me
Lookin good. I see you're missing the inner sill plates. If that hasn't been discussed
