I covered every joint I could see with penetrating lubricant and straightened and much of the linkage as I could.  After working it slowly, I got my vent to fully open.

I've looked under the dash to see if I can understand how it works and see if anything looks bent.  Frankly I'm pereplexed.  Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.  Anybody have information on how the cowl vent works?
