Havent got into it yet. Wanted to see what most peoples experience has been with this issue. Seems most have moded in a higher output blower motor. Im in Florida and the stock system is basically useless in the summer. Makes the car undriveable.

Not all blower motors are the same I took a current delco motor out of a 72 replaced it with a siemens from ecklers twice the air flow. I dont know what brand they sell now but lots of parts stores can get siemens motors.

When that car was new, there was plenty of airflow. Either the plenum is clogged up with debris (leaves, etc) and/or your present blower is worn out. Either way, you have to remove the blower. Once you've done that, you can clear out any collected debris. Then stick in a replacement blower. Caution!! The 'standard' replacement blower motors are really chinzy. Compare what you now have to the replacements and make sure you get something comparable. You can also decide if you want to put a C4 fan on it so that it blows even more air.
