Mine did this in my '81, and I took the controls apart and adjusted 
a little slider thing back there.  It's impossible to describe (well, for 
me, anyway), but if you take yours apart and fiddle with it, you'll 
see what I mean.

The trouble is, the fix doesn't seem to stick.  It worked for a little 
while, then went back to being vague again, and I just gave up.  It's 
worth the aggravation once or twice, but that's it.

Yes, it is.  I'd really like to find a set of heater controls that I could 
transplant into my car.

This brings up a question:  Has anyone ever converted their heater 
controls to cable actuation?  It seems to me that would be more 
reliable than vacuum.
