Topic: heater motor wiring location

[Panther]

Hi There,

i'm finalizing my heater restoration and i got a question concerning the location of the heater motor wiring.

The article about heater restoration shows a two wire motor with the cables located on top (11-12 o clock):

Heater Motor Feed Cable Part 2b

Virginia Classic Mustang shows it the different way:



Charles restored three wire heater has the three cables located on bottom side (5-6 o clock)

My 66 heater motor showed the same situation as the article (See attached picture).


What is correct, especially for the two wire version?

Have a nice day!

I see only two wires from the motor. The ground cable from the cylinder head to the firewall is visible in the photo - is that the third wire you're referring to?

I didn't post the pic of Charles three wire heater...here it is:
(Charles, hopefully you don't mind if i post the pic here)

Probably best to be asking what type of heater motors others with late '66 SJ cars have.

The heater motor in the K code is period-correct for when/where that car was made.

Thank You very much! That'll help a lot! 

Interesting to see, that Metuchen is different to San Jose

If I recall correctly, the three wire motor was used on the 64-1/2 and early 65s with the center "off" blower switch.  Later 65s and 66s use the two wire motor.

exactly!

Jeff could You look up what would be correct for a  dearborn car, build on 10 of may 1964? Would  be great   a friend asked me what would be correct for his car.

The K code I restored is a San Jose car.

I made a mistake, i meant the last picture of Jeffs pics but its not a Metuchen car, it's a late 66 san jose six banger (wrong "T"  ) sorry for the confusion!

Easy - three wire - one being a ground

Have three wires being used on early 65 Dearborn built Mustangs into Sept 64 at least (just a quick look)

Four examples with the wire exiting the heater motor at the same location

It makes no difference as long as you finish as you started.
