I'm looking for the nylon cams for the heater control. Here's a picture of the control and you can see the broken one on the left. This is from a 67 barracuda

I think any of the controls with the nylon cams can be taken apart and the cam used in yours. I had 2 that both had broken cams and made one good one. You might find something in a salvage yard?
 
I'm pretty sure they are the same. I have the dash apart to change the voltage regulator and want to replace this before I put it back together. This is the ralleye dash but I think they are all the same (air equiped cars are different).
 
I found you can simply drill a hole in the old ones and add a screw and nut which makes it much stronger.
 
Regardless how you repair the controller, You'll need to inspect the doors and cables.
When something binds, something breaks. That plastic pin is the weakest link.

Great idea! This started out as a heater core replacement and heater box referb. While I had it apart I changed the voltage regulator for the gauges (old one was going) and re did the clutch pivot. Then I saw the damage to the heater control. I got everything working fine now and it's back together so I'll look for a spare one and try your fix. It's been a whole lot of fun under the dash in the heat!! LOL Thanks everyone for the help. I wish we had local junkyards around here with anything mopar!
 
Search archives for my explanation of how I've fixed the brokemn pin. I'd rather not type it all out again.
 
Hi Robbie Can you tell me which cable color goes to which cam.I aminstalling cables and didnt label the colors.
 
My cables aren't color coded, they are on a 67 Barracuda. The top ones are for heat/defrost you can trace these to the top rear (front) of the heater box. The bottom opens the door to the heater core, it lets heat from the heater into the cabin. I think that one goes to the door just to the left of the heater core. I hope that helps. I wonder what year they started to colorcode them??
