12-22 Control Cable Adjustment
Adjustment of the control cables is accomplished by positioning the jacket or sheath of the control cable, (as held by the clamps on the control assembly and heater case).
To adjust control cables, loosen the clamps and move the cable sheath in or out as required to obtain full travel of lever.

Description and Operation
12-23 Flow-Through Ventilation System Description and Operation
A separate ventilation system for direct intake of outside air is controlled by two plastic fresh air inlet nozzles in the side kick panels and two lever operated inlet nozzles located on either end of the instrument panel assembly.
The air allowed to enter the passenger compartment will exit through outlets on both sides of the back glass.

The GT heater system consists of two component assemblies: (1) heater assembly, and (2) control assembly. The heater assembly consists of the heater housing and air valves; heater core, water valve and pipe assembly; and blower motor and fan assembly.
The flow of air enters the car through the cowl; passes through the blower fan, through or around the heater core, past the air inlet door and is then directed to either the floor outlets or defroster jets or both depending on the position of the defroster door.
The heater-defroster air door directs the air to the floor outlets, defroster jets, or apportions the air flow to both outlets depending on the position of the door. A manual water valve regulates the flow of coolant through the heater core thereby varying the temperature of the airflow past the core. The blower motor is located in the forward portion of the heater housing. See Figure 12-21.
Opening and closing of the heater defroster air door and manual water valve is accomplished by Bowden Cables connected to the heater control. The heater controls function as follows:
Air Inlet-Defroster Control (Upper Lever) - This lever regulates the flow of coolant through the heater core and the amount of air that can by-pass heater core thereby increasing of decreasing the air temperature proportionate to its travel (toward red dot = warm, toward the blue dot = cold).
NOTE: Unheated air may be circulated through the car by leaving the temperature control in the OFF position.
Blower Switch - This switch actuates blower motor to low or high blower speed.
12-25 Heater System Operation
To operate heater, proceed as follows:
1. Position air inlet, heater-defroster control as desired.
Arrow head pointing down - air out of heater outlets.
Arrow head pointing up - air out of defroster jets.
Between lower and upper position -air to both heater and defroster outlets.
2. Position temperature control as desired to increase or decrease temperature of air.
3. Position blower switch as desired to operate blower at low or high speed.
