Aaron, check all you vacum lines under the hood. When I put the M1
manifold on my truck I overlooked a few lines and didn't conect them
back up. My air would only blow out the top vents (the ones that blow
onto the windshield). Once I got the lines hooked back up I could
then control where the air came out again.
