| Does anyone have a picture or diagram of the driver side outside air duct. The cable on mine is frozen and I would like to pull it down and get it working. I would like to know where all of the mounting screws are so that I am spending minimum time under the dash. Not easy being old! |

I have a 73 but I believe it's the same as the 72. I have two pics that will hopefully assist you. The vent cable handle is mounted to the underside of the dash with I believe 2 screws.  Second photo shows the cable as it runs just to the side and above the fuse box where it attaches to a metal bracket with not sure if one or two bolts. The cable end then attaches to the vent lever but I can't quite remember what secures it. Hope this helps. ------------- Dave - 1973 GTS N code |

There is an NOS cable on Ebay with a pic that shows the end of the cable. I believe the cable end just slides onto the vent lever and a cap slides onto the end of the vent lever. ------------- Dave - 1973 GTS N code |

Let me know if you want me to try and dig up the factory diagrams or not. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

| The square end that hold the handle was bent. A little hammer work and some WD40 and it work fine. Thank you again. |
