Yes you read that right! Since I don't have A/C, I can't call it HVAC ducting. That's just wrong in my line of work.
Anyways......
I'm a bit bamboozled by the system on the non-ac cars......or maybe I should say my car. I understand the operation of the cowl fresh air ducting, the floor ducting but the dash vent operation has me baffled. How exactly do the vents hook up to the main system and how does the air flow through them?
To me, on my car, it appears that when the cowl air vents are closed and the heater/fan are on, it pulls the supply air for the system in through the cowl vent tube on the P/S. From there it either distributes it to the floor ducts in the center of the car or through the defrost vent. I do not see anywhere that connects to the supply side of the heater box to the vents. The cowl air tubes have foam on them like they connect from the tube to the vents but nothing else.
This seriously has me going stir crazy. Am I missing parts other than the extension tubes or do the dash vents only work with the cowl vents when they are open?
