been to long since u had a fat chick birch

on 68 ons they come up off the heater channel into a 3 way splitter

from there they go to the corner defrosters vents, freshair/face vents and center defroster vent

i wasnt going to mention the 3 WAY SPLITTER only confuses the guy

most cars this has been chucked away over the years

I just stuffed a rag in each, but dont think it helped much
