If you look at the plumbing under the back seat you will see that just shutting 
off the rear heat automatically diverts this flow to the front. To maximize 
your flow to the windshield you should turn the rear heat off AND close the 
front footwell vents off. If your heater channels are intact this will push all 
the air to the windshield.

What you CAN and should do, is verify that both sides of the main heater 
control cable are intact and working (not rusted away on one side, just in 
front of the engine,) and that you have the 2 large hoses running from the heat 
exchangers forward to the mixer boxes as well as the 2 smaller hoses that run 
above them. Yes, even a missing small hose will make a big difference.
