A/C Blower fan?
If I understand this correctly, all fan motors spin the same speeds. The fan size and pitch are what is used to blow/force the air into the ducts. Therefore I would only need to get a C4 fan not the whole unit. And just unbolt my fan off and place the C4 on ,then make 3/4" spacer. Does this sound right?

Dave. Take off the plastic vent on pass. side windshield wiper bay. It runs along the lip of edge of fender. Two 3/8 headed screws close to fan relay will remove it. Then you can look into this area and see the blower wheel and the outside air shut off damper. This will give you some idea of the clearance you need when you add the larger wheel. Blower wheels move air volume based on these criteria. Wheel diameter/length, pitch/number of blades and rotational speed. mike...

I just purchased a C4 wheel. Got it at the auto store for $13.78! out the door. But on first inspection it has a deep back where it slides onto the shaft. If I remember correctly, my 77 wheel is flush in the back. Can anyone remember what there's was? I'm not home to make sure or not. Thanks.
