Max AC blows through defroster?
Hey everyone. I just recently moved back to AZ, and got my '93 back from a buddy who's been babysitting it for the last 3 years. Now that she's really mine again, it's time to start fixing her up.
First off: my air. When I switch to Max A/C, after 1-4 seconds she starts blowing the air as if I've switched to defrost. It's cold air, which is nice, but I want it blowing on ME, not the windshield. Is this going to be repairable with the current HVAC head unit, or will I need to buy a new / newer one?
Thanks in advance for the help.

On mine it was the white vacuum hose for tne defroster damper motor running to the wiring harness AND the little tee shaped thing that is a check valve that prevents vacuum to your A/C from dropping with engine vacuum heavy load.

Yeah I don't think we'll ever fix dumb drivers.
I thank you all for the advice. Hopefully I can get her into the garage in the next day or two and see what I can see.

I also have the 351. I recently found my Haynes manual but haven't had time to work on this yet. Hopefully when I get home this week I can work on it.
Thanks to all who have posted advice!
