Anyone?
I posted an email recently regarding the CLimate control lever that controls 
the blend door in an 89 SHO equiped with standard climate control.

Robert Bruce chimed in and thanks for that. The SHO community is extremly 
helpful. Thanks Bob Lock too for your assisntance....it is still greatly 
appreciated when fellow shotimers try to help out...

But nontheless....i am still in need of this part....if anyone has a leed or 
any ideas....let me know please...

Thanks In Advance.....
Now only if i could get to meet up with BIll Murray for last peice of my 
interior....:)
