While working on my dash on the 67 convertible, I found the heater
switch to be broken, so I did some web surfing and I stumbled aross this on
another mopar board. I have provided a link to a photobucket album with some
pictures he sent me. he repairs those pesky plastic nipples (actually make new
ones) Mike Becker
Here is the excerpt of the email he sent me.
Subject: Fw: Re: vacuum switch repair
Mike,
Do you
have any pictures of the rear switch you are talking about?
I think the
main switch is just like the ones in then a,b,and c bodys. Can
you send me
a link to your forum?. I don,t have a web site. I
just
advertise on all the mopar forums. At the bottom of this
e-mail there is a
link to my picture album that has pictures of the
various switches that I
build and
repair.
Thanks,
Anthony

e-mail.
Mike,
Below is a canned letter that I send to
everyone showing my service and
what the charges are. So far I have been
able to get the switches back in the
mail the day after I receive
them. If your car is a62-65 air car be sure to
check your temp
selector switch located on the right side o the plenum
(picture #3). The
average cost to rebuild the switch is usually about 45.00
plus 5.00 for
shipping. It just depends on how much work needs to be done.
If your
buttons are a little hard to bush it usually needs at least 2 of the
wafer
boards.
If your really lucky you can get off with just the vacuum
port repair.
I would need you to send me your switch or
switches. There is some machine
work that I have to do no the switch.
I can fix several problems that happen
to most of these switches. The
cost just depends on what is broken on your
switch. I can fix AC/Heat or
Heat only switches. I have rebuilt switches for
people all over the
United States. Rick Eburg did an article on my repairs
in the
March
2006 edition of Mopar Action.
Picture #1 is a before
and after shot of the vacuum control switch. It
will work on any push
button mopar switch from 1959 to 1988. Picture #2 is a
before and
after shot of the push button repair. Picture #3 is a before
and
after shot of the Temperature selector switch for 62-65 b body
air
conditioned cars. Picture #4 is a before and after shot of the
max cool
vacuum switch that piggy backs on the fan switch on the 62-65 B
body air
cars.
Picture #5 is a before and after shot of the
sliding wafer boards that go
inside the switch.
I have
been using a repaired switch in my car for over two years now and it
works
great. The port and button repair is made out of black or white
delrin
material. It is super tough. The other two switches are
made of alum. They
will all outlast the cars they are going in.
The wafer boards are made out
of a super tough plastic shim stock.
The vacuum port repair is 35.00, button
repair 5.00 each,and wafer boards
are 5.00 each. The temp selector switch is
35.00 as is the piggy back max
cool switch. Just send a money order for the
services that you think you
need. I won't know if you have any bad boards in
the switch until I
open it up. If there are bad boards you can send payment
for them
when you get your switch back. I can be reached at
aepowell3@xxxxxxxxxxx or (903)-893-5674. I thank
you very much for this
chance to show my product.
