Hi Vince
thankfully due the age of the vehicle we don't have to pay any tax or do vehicle inspections (MOT)
which book did those drawings come out of that's something ill need to look out for

All the drawings I posted are from Ford service manuals.  The first one is for a 1970 Torino, and the second two images are for a 1972.  The second two photos are just schematics that show the air flow paths (this is not how they actually appear) but the 1970-71 systems operate the same way.
 
Good luck with your cowl repair.  Keep us posted.

heat in recirc, we call that Bake
 
Not that I am aware of, you only got recirculation mode for A/C cars and it was activated when the A/C was set to the coldest temperature settings on the slider.  But like you said, you set the door to keep it in recirculate full time.
 
See the diagrams below:
 
Heat only (note all the air intake is from outside):
 
 
A/C and Heat (note the air can be drawn from outside or inside the car):

It should work and other's have done it this way as long as it's driven in fair weather.  Just keep in mind your defroster will not be effective without fresh air.  I am not sure if that is require as part of the vehicle inspection over in the UK.


i forgot about the old cars that came heat only had manual vents on either side in the kick panels.

i guess i don't get any outside air? Ouch

All my old cars were non-A/C vehicles.  Those fresh air vents work pretty good on hot days when you have no air.  My Torinos vents move a ton of air.
 
Did you block off your fresh air intakes too when you did your cowl?  Looks like John did too (can't remember if he has A/C or not).

Do you mean the cowl to hood weatherstrip?

Here is a one on eBay that ships world wide.

Oh, that plastic strip at the bottom of the windshield. That part is pretty generic and is shared with lots of other Fords.  Part number D3AZ-6503243-A.  Keep checking ebay, there was an old listing on there for one.  I also found one here:

for those interested the cowls very nearly sorted top sections been removed the rotten cowl is now out, next step is to fabricate a new section without top hats and add an actual flow point, paint it up and put it all back together

It looks like it is coming along nicely.  Post more pics the repair comes along.  It will be great help for others who encounter the same problem.
