Good info but not applicable to air-cooled or some early water-cooled
models (diesel), AFAIK.

The air/heater control box was changed during the 1983 model year to a
much improved design. I have put later boxes into 82 water-cooled models
to great benefit but I can't speak for what can be done for air-cooled
ones.

The early models have a troublesome upper lever that often won't stay in
the far right defrost position. Waterboxer people know only the improved
type.
