blower motor cooling hose
I have installed a 95 corvette blower motor in my 76 wide body car.
My question is what are you using for the hose that goes from the 95 motor to the air box to keep the fan motor cool. Will the 95 hose work on the 76 air box? I appreciate your input.

My original hose was deteriorated and fell apart when removed. If I remember correctly there's a plastic fitting that mounts on the evap box. From there I used a piece of heater hose. I think 5/8". At the blower motor I found that 3/8" hose fit perfectly into the blower and also inside the 5/8" hose. It all locks in place securely. Didn't need any glue or anything.

I'm getting ready to install my new blower motor too. What kind of material did you use for your spacer?
Also, do you recall which blade is the negative one?
I'm wondering if some sort of gasket should be used between the fan/spacer and spacer/housing.

blower motor
I got a 12"x12"x1" piece of plastic materal from McMaster/Carr.It cost about $20.00.It is enough materal to do two fan motors.I made a template and cut it out with a band saw.
