C8TZ-18518-C .. Heater Temperature Control Cable-Use with Factory Installed Integral A/C - 37.38" long / Obsolete

Factory installed integral A/C is combined with the heater. The A/C controls are in the same panel as the heater controls.

Applications: 1968/72 F100/350 / No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

There's one on ebay listed under this Ford part number.

If no luck junking, try this.

We used to buy these wirewound cables at local parts houses in the 60's~70's for the old tractors on the farm. choke/throttle/etc
I would have bought this had I seen it sooner. Then I could have made my own cables just for the heck of it.

Hit DC, NPD & MAC'S But stay away from any rubber stuff at LMC as it rots fast from the ozone. Even the cab mount cushions our junk.

Ford - Ford Pickup Truck Speedometer Cable To Firewall Seal - Macs Auto Parts So buy two!~!
Carpenter has this listed as C6TZ-17261 (his part number) .. Speedometer Cable to Firewall Seal: 1967/72, but there's no mention inre to it being the same as a heater cable seal.

I looked at the A/C 18518 temp cable, no seal (grommet) is shown, but the heater only 18518 temp control cable, the seal is shown, looks just like Mac's/Carpenter's.

These seals "as original" .. AFAIK, were only available with the heater cables.

I can't remember who's catalog, I looking at when, I ordered my heater cable & sdomter grommets but it said that they were the same.

And they were about 2'' long foam filled with about a 1/4" hole in the center.

Ya got to kind of twist & screw in up on to the heater cable into place.

It was kind hard getting it into the firewall hole being new put added a little liquid soap in the hole lips.

Like Orich said the speedometer seal will interchange with the heater cable. If you haven't found the heater cable let me know, I've got a couple extra sets of cables and they don't fit the Classic Auto Air system I put in my 70.
