Mike, there are apparently two different deicing/temp control switches for 
Panteras. The original one on our '72 L had a short bourdon tube that only 
inserts into the box about 2" or so, probably the one you're dealing with. 
The '73-up switch looks identical but has a longer tube to stick in further. 
Can't find this L model 'update' in the TSBs right now, so maybe it's 
undocumented. Will check around with people who should know. FWIW- J Deryke
