gARY I HAVE A FACTORY HEATER IN MY 39 dESOTO.  Most heater were installed by the dealer along with radio's and other accesories. One wire would be to a speperate heater control switch or knob that ran the blower motor.

Contact me and i will send you some pictures of the factory MoPar heaters

You need to stop by and look at my 39 becasue it is the sister car to your 39 Dodge I have a lot of factory dealer sheets and accessory sheets and dealer special instruction and dealer bulletin for 38 and 39.

Heaters and all items considered "options" were dealer installed.   Even through the early 50s.

Thanks guys Rich I would like to stop down and see you and your car how is next week for you let me know. My heater has 2 wires coming out one to the switch and the other is I assume the ground but my books have no info on it.  Gary

Gary, on my '39  Dodge one wire goes to a switch that clamps on the bottom of the dash, the other goes to ground. Did you figure out your shift cable? Was going to get you a picture of mine, but forgot. Seems like that happens a lot these days.

Thanks Mike that's how I hooked them up hopefully its the same as yours. I am going to dive into the linkage hookup today and see if I can figure it out if you would send a pic that would be great thanks for the help. Thanks Gary
