I'll take a look at fresh air blower. It's $100 here on pelican, so I might as well just buy one and replace it, since it doesn't work.

So the red levers should activate the blower in the engine compartment. However, when the car is not moving, very little heat comes out, when you start moving, a lot of heat comes out. Is that by design? Also, if I have ignition on (engine off), and engage the levers, would that engage the motor?

So the switch between the seats controls the footwell motors? Do I need to move the HVAC control to the bottom for them to engage? when car is stationary, should I feel the hot air blowing out of them? Once again, when I drive, and pull the red levers into "on" position, the HVAC control directs hot air to either defrost or to the foot well (its blowing hard), but when I'm stationary, nothing...
No, at least not in my 1985. The red lever on the dash is only to change the place that the heat blows. Left is the floor, right is the windshield or defroster.

You have to pull up the red handles on the floor, next to the parking brake to get heat.

Maybe the real issue is your car is up on the ceiling!
