(Not to say that it WAS understood!)  There was one freak moment during my restoration when a flash of intellectual light struck me and lo, for that single moment, I fully understood the workings of the cowl-vent lever.  This flash of brilliance was so full it struck me to the floor, totally exhausted. To retain that vast battery of comprehension, while simultaneously grasping the melange of cables and levers obtusely co-mingled so as to effect all possible permutations and combinations of cold or warm, fresh or recirculated, air, blown or drawn, through floor vents, or defroster vents, without disturbing the temperature or humidity inside the car whatsoever is simply beyond the human realm.

In the meantime, the three extra-terrestial spirits returned to their home-planet where they were properly rebuked for their poor navigational skills - having landed in Roswell instead of Stonehenge where they had previously landed and built this circular stone marker to guide them back*.

We have here a design clearly emanating from beyond the human realm...  Of course anybody, regardless of intellectual advancement, can make mistakes - whadaya expect from three guys who couldn't distinguish Roswell from Stonehenge? Why do you think I replaced my entire Magnette heater with a modern one?

I can tell you that (NOT speaking for Allen!!!), the explanation was at least an intense 20 minutes long, and had to do with things like "when this is open, then air is circulating from here to there, which necessitates the #$%^ valve being open, while simulatanousely the excess air is being directed to the defroster, and exits out the @#$%^&.  This went on for, honest to god, 20 minutes.  I was lost after the 2nd or 3rd @#$%^&*.  I've done a couple of B's, and there seems to be no relationship there whatsoever.  I actually understand what happens, I think, in a B.

The slide control for temperature does two things, it opens the valve to allow hot water to flow and it controls an inner flap.  How should the valve and the inner flap be set when I reinstall the cable?  Maybe it will be obvious when I get into the car but not much is obvious to me when I am scrunched up.  I didn't do this step on my prior Magnette re-do because I don't have a proper valve for it.
