I was replacing the three broken/missing heater cables today in my '58 and got the defrost and inside/outside air cables o.k. but when installing the missing temp cable, I could not locate where the cable from the dash control goes to. There is no referance to the heater in the factory assembly manual so I thought I'd see if anybody knew.

There should be a valve in one of the heater hoses, probably under the hood. It's possible your valve corroded so much it became un-usable and was removed by a previous owner. Universal valves are available at auto parts stores.

The reason there is no mention of a heater in the assembly manual is heaters were a dealer installed or after market item in those days.
