Todd Mullin asked that I restate my question.  I sent it out after several
frustrating hours, so let me try again in a more sane mind.

The two controls, one for temp and the other to direct air to either cabin or
windsreen, consist of a knob, face plate, a metal housing that fits behind the
dash and holds the light, and the shaft/control mechanism.  The control 
cables are connected behind the dash to what I am calling the control 
mechanism.   

When I turn one knob it has definite click stops.  The other just turns about
320 degrees.  It appears the one with the click stops should control the
heat/defrost control and the other the temperature. Is this correct? 
At the moment I have them switched.  The arrows on the face plates do not jive 
with the direction the knobs turn, and I am not getting full movement on the
valve that controls flow of the coolant to the heater box.

I believe they need reversed, I just wanted confirmation before I contort
myself and crawl back under the dash.  Hope that is clearer, if not let me know
and I'll try again.  Typing is easier than getting my paws in the tight places
behind the dash.
