Budd, You are definitely Wiser

What a disertation! You are THE master of all knowledge on the heater
and venting system.  We should create a FAQ out of findings.

THANKS!

I believe that the rubber foam stuff around the louvers must be gone
on my system.  I will use the cardboard/duct tape solution till the
climate cooperates for me to tear into the dash and heater system.  I
too live in cool climate near one of the Great Lake.  Hey! you cant
find out that there is no heat until you need it. Kind'a like the
windshield wipers, they don't break down in sunny weather.

I used to live in Colorado and Utah and recall driving around with my
down sleeping bag wrapped around my legs, big down jacket and cool air
blowing from the vents on my 72 Westy.  Then I upgraded to a 78 Westy
with the additional heater fan.  The heat source was still the same
problem.  It never warms up in cold temps and never reaches the front.
 The WasserBoxer definitely solved that problem.

Thanks again for great explanations.
