Default Ducting Diagram

Ok guys, got good cold air and lots of it,,,,,just ain't getting it where I want it.

I have air in the ducting but now I'm loosing.
I got nice cold air gushing out of the heater duct on the drivers side.

thanks

Sound like a vacuum problem. Check all your vacuum hoses under the dash for leaks and proper hook up.

Look for vacuum leaks.The default for lack of vacuum is floor heat.

I found out that there should be a moulded plastic duct from heaterbox to dash outlet on my 79. Found one at a salvage outlet.
