1968 Airbox rebuild question

ok so here's the bonus round...

Seeing as this seems to be your first time doing this I am going to give you some tips I learned from this experience. If you have the dash out of the vehicle, this is the perfect time to address the heater cables and controls.

1. spray a good quality lubricant inside each of the heater control cables and work the cables back and forth until they are moving easily.
2. Lubricate the heater control levers and make sure the posts for the cables are intact with no excessive play.

3. I just learned this one. Replace the two bolts that hold the heater controls to the instrument cluster with studs instead. Believe me it is much easier to put a nut and a washer on a stud when you can't see the threaded hole than it is to try to tread a bolt into that hole when the dash is installed!!

4. temporarily hook up all the heater control cables and adjust the movement of the cables before you permanently install the dash/instrument cluster. Its way easier to do it at this point/

I'm sure others on here can add to this but this is what I found.

Good luck with it!!
