linkage of this lever which will provide partial airflow

only to the defroster duct and which should be used for,

all normal defogging operations.

CORVETTE

Heater components are attached to the dash panel on

the right side of the vehicle with the air inlet assembly

on the engine side and the heater and air distributor

assemblies beneath the instrument panel within the pas-

senger compartment.

The heater operates on outside air only with the blower

receiving its air flow from the cowl vent plenum

chamber.

No water valve is utilized in the system. Therefore,

water flows through the heater core constantly while

the engine is running, keeping the core at maximum

temperature at all times.

Airflow through the system is shown in Figure 1.

Controls

Two knobs control all heater operations:

The FAN-TEMP knob is rotated to turn the blower

on and off and control blower speed and is pulled out

as desired to regulate heater temperature.

The AIR-DEF knob is the air on-and-off control as

well as the defroster control.

Temperature Damper: Door

At the heart of the heater operation is the temperature

damper door. Air from the blower follows parallel paths

through the distributor duct, with one path passing

through the heater core and the other path bypassing the

core.

The temperature damper door is placed in the duct

so that, when closed, the path of the heated air leaving

the heater core is blocked while the ambient air path

remains open. Positive closing of this door when no

heat is being called for is assured by a cam assembly

at the door operating lever. As the FAN-TEMP knob

is pulled out, the damper door is opened accordingly,

allowing varying proportions of heated air to mix with

the unheated airflow, thus providing heater outlet tem-

perature control. With the knob pulled fully out the
Fig.
4—Heater Controls (Corvette)

ambient air path is blocked and all airflow passes

through the heater core. Final heater output temperature

is dependent upon the proportion of heated and ambient

air blended together according* to the setting of the

temperature damper door.

Air and Defrost Damper Doors

Beyond the temperature damper door are the air door

and the defroster door, both operated through a single

bowden cable by the AIR-DEF knob. The first half of the

travel of this knob opens the AIR door allowing the

airflow to pass into the interior of the car through the

floor distributor openings. Pulling the AIR-DEF knob

fully out causes the defroster door to open, diverting

this airflow to the defroster ducts for defogging, de-

frosting or deicing operations.

NOTE: Since this knob is the air on-or-off

control, it should be pulled at least halfway out

before turning on the blower.

Fan Control

Rotate the FAN-TEMP knob to operate the three-

speed blower, increasing the velocity of the air through

the heater. The fully counter-clockwise position of the

knob is the off position. Turn clockwise to the desired

blower speed; fully clockwise for high blower speed.

will be forced down and inboard. (See Figure 7.)
4.
Disconnect the blower motor wire at the motor

flange.

5.
Remove the motor to case mounting screws and re-

move motor. Pry the flange gently if the sealer acts

as an adhesive.

6. Remove the blower wheel retaining nut and separate

blower and motor.

Installation

1.
Assemble the blower wheel to the motor with the

open end of the blower away from the motor.

2.
Place the assembly into the case and replace the

CHEVROLET COMFORTRON TESTER

The J-22368 Automatic Temperature Control Tester

when in AUTOMATIC position, may be used to perform
Comfortron system checks without disturbing normal car

operation.

Under MANUAL control tester allows the operator to

set and hold a predetermined blower speed
and.
temper-

ature. The tester can also be used to measure external

system voltages by using the probe.

To Install the Tester

1.
Remove the three-terminal male connector from the

Amplifier on the Comfortron control head.

2.
Plug this connector into the three terminal female

connector (with yellow wire)
on
the Tester.

3.
Plug the remaining three-terminal male connector

on the Tester into the Amplifier on the control head.

4.
Attach the black ground lead to any good ground

point available in the car.

5.
Remove the large vacuum hose from Transducer and

connect it to the Tester vacuum hose nipple.

6. Connect the Tester vacuum hose (short hose) to the

Transducer.

Quick Test Procedure

With the J-22368 Tester installed as outlined above,

the following quick checks may be made to pinpoint

the cause of system malfunctions. This quick check

procedure is reproduced on the "swing out" plastic

instruction card attached to the back of the Tester.

Before performing the checking procedure, start the

engine and allow to run on fast idle until operating

temperature is reached. Then set the dash control lever

to HI-FRONT position and the dash control Temperature

Dial to 75° and proceed with the following steps:
