The air temperature control valve is between the front of the air cleaner
element and
the exhaust manifold. Can't really describe how it looks, but it's the little
flapper
at the end of the metal tubing right before the air cleaner. (the air cleaner
can has a
protrusion at the front). This valve allows hot air from the manifold to be
inducted.

Well, the reservoir for the damper oil is about an inch or so down into the
dashpot, and
just pouring oil in there will spill a lot of it, and all of it won't go into
its
intended spot.

Don't recall anything like that on my 76; a lot of vacuum stuff was changed /
added
77-80.
