Found a source for a newer/better blower motor!!!

[notime2d8]

I just got back from the junk yard...i tested a few blower motors to see if they mount up to our cars. I found that a blower motor from a 1997 Chevy blazer mounts with all of the screw holes and rotates the same direction. It has a nicer connector with a heavy gauge power and ground, and i just tested it on my battery and it puts out a good bit more air and not as noisy...but my stock one i compared it with is from 83 so...YMMV the only issue is that the tube doesn't fit...i'm going to see if i can heat it up and reshape it.

The part number/tag is:

ITTA-ROCHESTER

Edit: Added pics...should've done that first and typed less... ](*,)

did you take the wire harness and connector too?

Yes, I patched the harness/connector into my harness and gave myself a better ground. I had to rework the tube with a small piece of tube and sealant to get it to fit but it works perfectly with much improved airflow...

Did the new motor spin faster? or was the fan cage of a different pitch?
