[TR] TR6 heat '70

Bob:

I believe you are correct in that the first pull will get your heat to the
defrost and a second to the feet and vents.  Key to getting any heat is that
the scuttle vent must be pulled open or you will get nothing.

Hello List,
Happy and Healthy New Year to all.
It is cold and getting colder.
My question regards correct operation of the heater specifically the air
distribution control on a '70 TR6.
Control pulled one click for defrost I get warm air to windshield.
Pulled 2 clicks for heat and defrost I get warm air to windshield and bottom
heater vent
Knob not pulled out what should happen?
Outside Air flap near windshield should do what open or closed?
Dash vents always have cold outside air is this correct?
I have a 180 degree thermostat and seem to remember I had a lot more heat in
my TR250 when used as an everyday driver.
Anyone in the North using a 195 degree thermostat in winter?
Regards,
Bob
