Exactly what does it do and how does it do it? In other words, when you move the lever, what does the lever, in turn, move? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)
Thanks for your help Sean |

As you lift it up, it pulls cables which open the flapper valves between the heat exchangers and the passenger cabin to let air funneled around the exhaust pipes warm up and in turn keep you warm inside the car. The further you pull the red lever means the valves open up more. At about the halfway point, an additional electric fan in the engine compartment is kicked on to boost the volume of air already being sent through the pipes by the impeller fan attached to the crankshaft.

Are those flappers part of the body of the car? Or are they built into the heat exchangers? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) So, if there are no hoses at all, there are no flappers and the red lever is connected to nothing? Also, I have no parking brake at all. (I'm trying to figure out how to do many things at once when I have a few days to work). Thanks |

Thanks Flapper boxes are visible under the car at the L & R engine compartment near the fwd. firewall - the aux. heat fan is topside in the L engine compartment below the relay board, & - yes - you'll need the cables, power/wires & hoses/tubes all hooked up for heat to work. Ditto for the E-brake! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Ditto for the E-brake! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I need to see a fully functional ebrake system. I can't even figure out where the stupid handle would mount. The heat I think I have a modification for, but I won't worry about it until next winter, I'll just shiver for now. . when I drive it, generally 12 miles highway each way. Is the love for 914's totally irrational or what? LOL |
