Hello Corvair friends,
While on my way to the Portland Convention in my 1966 vair, my brother
said to me that he didn't think my A/C blower motor was putting out
much air. Not having any other corvairs with A/C in the club, I had
nothing to compare the output too.
When arriving at the convention, I met a couple of folks who had A/C
in their late body vairs, and were kind enough to start their engines
and run the A/C for me. Sure enough, my A/C was blowing about half of
what it should.
First we thought that hoses were off...we checked and they were on
fine. Then we thought maybe the motor was not getting a full 12 volts.
So we got out a voltmeter from my handy VAIR Travel Tool box, and
tested it. We got 10-11 volts, good enough. Then we decided the
motor itself must have some windings that are burnt. When I arrived
home, I took the motor out, and sure enough I saw some burnt windings,
which would certainly slow down the speed of the motor.
I checked out the Clarks and Underground catalog and saw NO blower
motors for sale. Does anyone out there know if these are available
new from any sources? I called Checker and AutoZone...and they only
have the heater blower motor. Do any of you members of "AirVair"
have a source?
Does anyone have a 66 style A/C blower motor that they want to sell?
Email me off line with conditon and price.
Thanks alot,
