Reply to "Heater control panel removal"

Words of wisdom from when these cars were new: no matter what you adjust or rebuild, the stock levers and bowden cables will NOT both completely shut off the hot water AND also open it fully. You can adjust for one or the other. The problem seems to lie in the length of the levers on the dash vs. the length of the heater valve lever being mismatched. The flexibility of the unshielded cables does not help. Later wide-body Panteras got vacuum actuated controls also used in the Maserati Biturbo, and that does seem to fix this li'l problem. Expensive but they do apparently retrofit. A couple of early Pantera use them.
