The important thing is not whether the side-vent air source is before the
heater core, but if it is bofore the blower fan.
So you are telling me that air does not come out of the side vents with the
blower?
I mean, if you are sitting at a dead stop, scuttle vent open, side vents open,
and turn on the blower fan, does air blow into the cockpit from the side vents
or not?
The reason I don't know this is that in my TR4, I have never started the blower
fan. Don't know if it works. You can't rush into these things...
