My car is now non A/C and figured I would change out the face plate on the control panel to match. I'm looking for a white faced one. really only need the face plate, but let me know what you guys got.

What you're looking for might be hard to find. Most non A/C control heads operate cables, not vacuum transducers, to open/close doors. You'll have to swap out the entire box under the dash to make one work. Some of the later ones I hear operate with vacuum, but hard to come by and most likely with yellow lettering.

I just want to put the face plate on, the control panel will stay the same. The face plates pop right off when you remove the knobs. I looked into the complete swap and said SCREW THAT!

The non a/c face plate has many less "selections" than the a/c version, so what you put the slider on, wont be what's actually happening.

What Al said is right. You have to swap the whole HVAC assembly mess behind the dash to get a working non a/c faceplate functional.

Dash swap is nothing. You guy's are all just pussies. Razz

As Al said the 82-89 panels are cable-drive and white. The 90-92 panels are vacuum control and are yellow. None of them line up with the selections on the aircon panel.

So is that your dash swap? I don't think anybody is going to argue that was easy. Very Happy

@ JC: Wheels and tires (Kumho's @ 50%) are up for sale. Shoot me an offer and we'll talk.

@ Jon: Admittedly it was more like my dash and entire interior in the dump-run pile, but yeah. Razz

Not gonna derail this topic any further, sorry for any inconvenience to anyone.

@ Chevysquid

I have the faceplate and all the cables, except the two "fresh air" vents that sit under the steering column. If you're interested.

I'm gonna look into it some more. Will let you know if I pull the trigger though.
