Thanks for the good suggestions !i was able to tap it out pretty straight
The central flapper rod sort of wiggles out ,its shaped like s snake lying on the ground in s turns and it has a flat rectangular channel to run through in the flap which is what makes it turn
I pulled it apart and made a new flapper guesstimate out of an inner tube and will use wire to put it back together
There's some good firewall real estate above the steering colom exit and below the little cable for the vacumb wiper motor
I moved the voltage regulator sideways to the left plenty of room for that
I'll have to shorten the long lower duck 6-8" and add some flex able duct is a turn to bring the source of air up higher ,hopefully it'll flow down nicely from under the dash
The only thing in the way on the inside is a paper heat dispersal duct
But I live in texas where 60 is cold
So when you go from off to air does the cable push or pull?
Tomorrow paints dry and I'll reassemble with wire ,make new gaskets and order the oil cloth duct ,max Merritt has it
