I installed an electronic heater valve that loops coolant in the engine compartment when closed, and then opens the loop to the passenger compartment when required. It is variable so you can control the heat. The under dash cable is hooked up to a potentiometer that is supplied. Got mine off of E-bay. Ask the guy if he will sell you the one minus the crimping tool. Needle nose pliers work just fine. You also have to extend the wires with some ribbon cable, and adapt the heater hose at the core if you want to eliminate the mechanical valve.

Check this thread here on page 13 for some really nice work done.

The part numbers are also listed several posts latter.
I believe that it is a Vintage Air Gen II compact. I am not sure if it will do all of the items you ask about - defrost, mixing, variable fan, etc. I have not investigated all that much.
The Gen IV Magnum will do everything you ask for sure and interfaces with the ISIS touch screen if you want to. However, this is bigger then the compact and I am not sure it will fit.

Good news ! I found that valve that Dave refered to, minus the pliers for only $86.25 at StreetRodHQ.com . Street Rod Headquarters is owned by a Pantera owner as well. Best regards, Jim Coyne
WOW , GREAT news. Having a hard time spending over 200.00 dollars on a heater control valve. What about the controler any input on what type works best.
Removed the dash bord and installed heater control valve .Found the screen befor the expantion valve was very dirt . I am going to put in new expantion valve . Still need info on how to install eletronicly adjusting units to operate cable for heat and AC unit.

This may not be applicable to your situation, but here is a photo of the potentiometer plate setup that came with my E-bay heater valve setup above.
Basically, you just want to shut off the hot water when operating the AC. The AC system is not efficient enough to warrant the moderation of cooling.

I looking for somthing that will push or pull cable for fresh air vent and the cables that control the flaps in the air box. floor, defrost,and vents I all ready installed the heater control valve you already spoke about.
3322, the wide-body '80s GT-5 and GT5-S Panteras used a vacuum control to do what our early cars did (poorly) with cables. This is the same control system found in '80s Maserati BiTurbos which in the U.S are sometimes found in wrecking yards.
