Can anyone give me an idea where the floor heat vacuum pod lives under the dash
of a 124? I've got heat out the side vents and defroster but nothing going to
the floor. I'm assuming that the pod for the heat flaps to the floor is bad.
Can I get to this without removing the dash. I've fixed a 123 from the side
panels. Is the 124 set up the same way? It's too darn cold to drive without
floor heat. A hot torso and frostbit legs just doesn't get it.

Tom - I can't see how the slight over torque and over stretch on a lubed
thread can be anywhere near as destructive as greatly exceeding the bolt and
thread strength with 2x or 3x torque levels.
