the blend door in an 89 SHO equiped with standard climate control.

Robert Bruce chimed in and thanks for that. The SHO community is extremly
helpful. Thanks Bob Lock too for your assisntance....it is still greatly
appreciated when fellow shotimers try to help out...

any ideas....let me know please...

Thanks In Advance.....

interior....

Frank
