Don . i have the small AC/heater unit. seems to work great for AC and deforst but now it is cold. how do i switch to heat. there are 2 knobs on the dash and i found another knob under the dash near the drivers leg. i know the dash is the fan and AC controls but can seem to find hear. what does the knob under the dash do. will take help from anyone who know this setup.

thanks Mike. trying to enjoy the cobra year roud.

Mike, You have the mini space saver by Vintage air. The knob for heat/air control has 4 positions. Econo, A/C, Heat, Def. Econo is straight up. I don't know what the knob under the dash is for. Give it a try and see what it does. Maybe it's a missle launcher!

well i know the cobra is cool enough to be a james bond car but so far no missle launcher. it is a reostat type knob smooth turing L to R. i will check but i think both knobs only have 3 positions can click type mechanism.

i will double check. are the options listed in that order from L to Right. ie 1-4 thanks Mike

ok evaluation done. both knobs have 3 clicks, or possible 4 positions. fan could be off, 1,2,3 speed. with the main switch in one of the 4 positions. let me know if the order is as you mentioned above . thanks , i can find which switch is the fan speed. thanks . could the knob below be a heat/cool selection like in a car. cold to hot.

thanks Mike

Mike, yes, the order is as listed. It may take awhile for the heat to come on. The heater control valve is vacumn. I didn't install a knob under the dash so I'm not sure what it would be. It's not a speaker control knob is it? Maybe it's a power control, turn it up for more power. Maybe it's just a knob to make you wonder what it's for.
