There may be a little slot on the underside of the knob. Use a tiny screwdriver to push up on the little clip that holds it in place. Got a close up of the knob in question?

Pull like hell, they are a press fit,  you can use pliers, but try not to mar them,  or a small block of wood, and a flat screwdriver in behind,  tehy pull straight off the shafts,  hope that helps,

the whole heater control assembly unbolts with 4 speed nuts from behind.

On a 67,  you are best to remove dash pad, easy,  2 nuts and some screws,  drop the column,  then unscrew the entire dash cluster and let it hang,  dont forget the one hidden screw for a bracket behind the steering colunm, easy to see when the column is dropped.
