No. For starters it looks like you have the cable for the right side air vent crossing over to the left side vent. I don't see a cable coming out the back of the pull **** on the left side - that is the one that should connect to the left vent - and there is a small bent steel clip that goes on the hood pull cable and holds the vent cable in place - up and out of the way. You are missing that too. I am going to guess that someone rerouted the right side cable, cut it to a better length and connected it to the left side vent. They cut it too long. You may be able to switch the pull ***** - just put left to the right side and right to the left side. If the cable was previously cut it will really be too long - you will have to cut it again - and get the clip. Also - that cable that services the right side - it ain't cheap. Good luck.
On second look, I see a cable coming out of the left pull ****. It goes straight back and up towards the firewall. What is it connected to, what does it do? I hope it is not the hood latch.

Could someone previously have used it for a manual choke?

the left pull **** goes up and loops back down towards the floor mat. You can see it near the high beam switch. I think this is the one that opens the vent in the coupe and turns the heat extraction fan on. There are three ***** total. The right most one goes to the right vent but it’s not in the picture.
Possible - if it originally was the right side cable it is definitely long enough to reach a carburetor. I hate to tell you, installing the passenger side cable is a PITA. up and back behind the radio and behind the glove box - there is a lot of stuff back there, not easy to feed through. I would check to see if the one mounted on the right is the correct cable for the left side. The **** and cable are all one integrated part - you can't just buy a cable. Available but, $$$$$ pretty price for a piece of dumb hardware.

not likely. Car was a top flight winner three times and Duntov winner in the 1980’s. I need to look at another 65 coupe to see what’s going on. On the right vent **** the cable pushes out the back of the holder. You have to hold it with your hand and push it back in.
Here is a schematic of the left and right vent cables - copied from the Paragon catalog - which was copied from the AIM - hope this helps. Couldn't find a drawing that included the coupe vent ****.

thanks. I need to take a closer look and see what is going where.

the one on the far right works the rear fan/vent. This works good but it may be aftermarket. The middle **** works the drivers vent and I just broke it. The passenger one works fine. Looks like just need the drivers cable with underdash mount
You need the small clip that goes on the far left cable and connects it to the hood release cable - not expensive at all. I hate those vent cable mechanisms - they are very rigid and it is difficult to get the ***** oriented straight and to say in position. Be careful with the two screws that secure the **** bracket to the bottom of the instrument cluster. The hole in the cluster is threaded and it is pot metal - quite soft - easy to strip. If you do strip one (or more) you can effectively use those flat metal pieces that have a hole stamped into them - the screw will thread on to the metal piece real easy.
From your signature it appears you are talking about a 1965. If this is the case they’re should be two cable ***** on the left side of the steering column and one on the right side. One on the left side is for the left side fresh air vent and the other is the one for the exhaust vent that exhausts air out of the cabin and exists out the vent behind the drivers door on the pillar. That cable only pulls out a very short distance as it is the blower speed control.

it is a 65 and the middle **** to the steering wheel controls the drivers vent. This the one I need. I broke the mount.
I believe that on a '64 & '65 Coupe with the standard rear power vent that your left side fresh air cable mount has the serious twist in the bracket like you show in your photo above.

do you mean the metal mount or the cable? The cable loops up by the fuse box then goes down by the rocker. The mount I broke is the left drivers vent. I can buy the right side and cut it if I could figure out how to loop the end to fit on the pin on the vent flapper.
