    Just trying help here - if 70 to 72 is the same, Bruno, should be the same as the one you sold me.

    There are three cables- red blue and green. If you don't know what color you need, what color are the two others? Or you can look on the bottom of the heater controls from under the dash and its stamped what color goes where. So look where the cable should be on the controls and you should see the RED BLUE or GREEN stamps

    Looks like he needs a red one for an AC car. I think there are two red lengths. I'll look in my manual and see what the correct length is

    I have a small pile of these. Some are 70-72 Skylark/GS,and some are 70-72 Cutlass/442. I don’t know if they both use the same ones,but they have the different colors as mentioned. I think Inline Tube also sells new ones.

    So this is what the bottom of the AC controls look like. You can see the stamps- Blue, Red (AC location) , Red "A" heater (location for non AC), Green. So there are two different red cable lengths- one for heater only, one for A/C.

    This is the control cable diagram in the service manual. Basically shows you where the red cable goes for AC cars-

    This is the control cable chart from the 70 assembly manual-

    Hope this helps...

    I think ALL of them said that. I DON'T believe with A-Body cars you could get anything diff. like "Comfortron" which I believe was only available in full size cars & Rivs. Comfortron is automatic A/C where you set the temp. & the system automatically controls interior temp.
