Heater Controls

Heater Controls

2006-01-19 by Mike Sulliva

Upon further evaluation of my new car I have found that the slide bar 
heater controls were never connected.  The electrical wiring consisting 
of three large gage wires (hot, ground, a ??) and 2 smaller gage wires 
were bundled and tape back into the harness.  The car was a california 
car and fitted with A/C (who needs heat??).  Well here in VA you gotta 
have defrost or its gonna get right difficult to see at times.  It 
appears that the heater coil is behind the fresh air vent connection 
under the bonnet.  The coil was piped to the motor (V8) but there is no 
fan, supply air hose, temperature control valve etc.  Any help on 
getting this to all work would be greatly appreciated.  I will post 
some pics in the next few days.

Mike,
There is a 1981 Mantula build manual on Mark Saxby's site (about 3Meg). Might help.

jack in a few days and let you know.
