Okay, So im trying to try to explain this the best I can. I HAVE NOT pulled out the dash to get a good look at things yet, im just trying to get ideas for when I do in a week or so.

Okay. I got a new s13 shell, and it has had to be a track car. The PO told me the hvac was removed, but the heat was on a external switch, so I was okay with that so long as I had some type of heat, didnt really care. So today, I looked into the heat situation while making a switch panel and realized, the heater core is on the left side of the glovebox/kinda behind the radio. So I plugged everything back up, and realized 1. it only blows on high, and its annoying loud. Loudness im guessing since it just blows straight out. 2. it only puts heat out into the passenger floor board. So, my questions are. 1. is there anyway to wire up some type of switch to make it low/high. 2. Whats going to be the best way to get the heat up to the windshield so i'll have defrost, and possibly on the drivers side floor board.

Thanks for any possible help.

Tons of part outs, just get the parts from a car, for the fan speed it's a blower motor resistor, but you need a switch to make the changes too.
