Hey guys, I'm relatively new here. I'm fixing up a 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 and in the dashboard there is this lever that can be pulled, but I don't know what it does or for what it is. Can anyone help?
Anyone know what this is and it's function?

If the car runs rough 15 minutes after startup with that knob pulled all the way out....it's a manual choke lever.
If your legs change temperature after a similar time, it's part of the heater or vent box.

Whatever you do, do NOT pull that cable.

It's just a fresh air vent. There are often two of them, one for drivey side and one for ridey side. If they work you will feel a draft while you're driving about
Turns it into a rusty Ford Falcon !!

When you're done checking out that cable....head on over to the Welcome Wagon and introduce yourself....and put up some more pics of the car.
