Can anyone tell me what this knob is for:

I've searched several place, but can find no info. Thanks for any help!

Floor vent. While driving down the road, pull it out, and you'll feel the effects. On my goat, it's called air conditioning.

Interesting. You have an A/C dash. The kick panel vent you show should not be on an A/C car. Either the A/C was added, or the kick panel was replaced with an incorrect part.

Hmmm...Thats what I was thinking. I'm going to do some investigating. I don't think the car was originally set up for A/C in that the oil dip stick tube does not have an A/C extension. However, it seem like a lot of work to add A/C after market. I have the PHS docs; does anyone know the A/C codes?

I think it is a lot of work to add a factory A/C system due to the dash, firewall, etc. It seems more likely that a standard kickpanel was installed and the incorrect dipstick tube was installed. Which leads to the question, is the engine block original? -Jesse

No, the block is not original (but I knew that already). The car originally had a 400 HO. It has since been replaced with a correct year standard "YS" code 400.

on my factory AC car, I added the driver side floor vent for those times when the AC is not necessary, but you want some cooler outside air flow. It is nice to have.
