Where is the temperature regulator for the heater?

Post by GROOVYBIRD »

My '66 Landau was originally a Florida car and hasn't had a heater core connected in ten years or more--even the heater hoses were removed. The new heater core is installed, but the location of the temperature regulator is a mystery. I don't even know if it's still there, somewhere--it could have been removed when the original heater core was disconnected. (Upon removal, the original heater core looked to have had a serious leak.) Can anyone point me in the right direction? If someone happens to have a picture, that would be much appreciated!

Yes, it's a factory A/C car.
