Heater Controls
 
I been looking into the heater controls on my '76 CJ-7. The one that I'm
curious about is the three position knob for Air (Off-Heat-Vent). From the
books that I looked at and also from looking under the dash, I am wondering
if there were some '76 models that did not have a vent. I looked at my
dad's '84 CJ-7 and the mechanism at the end of that particular cable is much
more complicated that the contol that is at the end on my '76. Do I have a
vent?

Thanks,

Chip

I also located an interesting website that explains the vertical bars on the
grill of a Jeep. I betcha a bunch of other people here already know this
one. Any takers?

Re: Heater Controls
 
My 76 CJ7 has a vent, if you pull the AIR control knob (bottom knob to the
left of the instrument cluster) out as far as it will go and you should get
fresh air to the passenger compartment.

Re: Heater Controls
 
The reason that I asked was because the year range on some parts starts at
1976, so I wanted to find out what they were like in 1975 just to see if the
heating equipment was removed from an earlier model. I spent some time this
past weekend looking under my dash to see what this knob is supposed to do.
The Air knob is currently the second one down from the top. I found it
under the dash and there is no possible way to pull it out any farther.
Right now, I cannot tell if it's in the correct position or if there were
some '76 jeeps that had a different heat/air system on them.

Re: Heater Controls
 
Sorry, I can not be of more help. My 76 was built in September of 1975.
The second knob on mine is the defroster, with the third being the heat.
Guess you could physically trace the cables.

Oh, forgot about the grill. The first jeep I remember, my uncles, had what
looked like steel bars (heavy) as a grill. Remember Dad saying something
about that was the only thing Ford did that was worth a crap, but I don't
really know the history.
