1952-59 Ford One more question on the heater.

Where does the capillary tube go that comes off the heater control valve? Mine is somewhat uncoiled and bent up out of the way. There's a clip attached to the end that obviously clamps to something.



For reference, here's a pic of a NOS heater control valve and cap tube.

 

No one? I can't find anything in the shop manual and I'm not entirely sure of it's function and don't remember where it went. I need some guidance!

 

Did you look in the 1949-1959 Ford Parts Manual Illustrations section ? If you don't have that Danman55 can hook you up. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...lock-engine-manual-and-other-goodies.1005974/

 

I have that but couldn’t find anything.

 

I'll crawl under the dash on mine and look as soon as the weather improves enough for me to take the cover off

 

I thought mine was just inside the black cover and the clip was part of it.
It’s all out and stored in a box since I added AC/heater combo.

 

Appreciate it! LMK.

 

My '54 has the Magicaire heater and does not have that.

 

Jeff, I have the exact same MagicAire heater control. Also, the heater control valve is factory and has the capillary tube. I'm at a loss.

 

Feed tube through notch marked with blue circle. Clip to indention with red box. If you had the plenum box it would have a corresponding notch at the top.

I think the idea is the tube reacts to the temperature of the air moving from the heater box to the plenum box. Which would be the airflow the flap regulates.

 

I wonder if it is listed in this accessories Manual ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/2935814525...13/OD9Q8MtnJVlC/REjJ225g==|tkp:Bk9SR6TCgZ7KYQ

 

I do and it does! Perfect!
Thank you, sir!

 

One of the guys in a Ford Facebook Group found this in the glovebox of his '53.
