Re: Blower motor upgrade - Fiero

I've completed the job! I took the stock clockwise fan that came with the 2005 Chev Silverado assembly that my auto parts store mistakenly sold me and I cut out the centre, reversed it, made a circular brakes from an aluminum plastic sandwich material that I've used for other applications, and sewed...

Re: Blower motor upgrade - Fiero

I finally found a blower motor that should fit based on the Four Seasons 35582 blower motor part number that does run CCW. BUT, ..... the AC 15-8420 blower fan listed as a vintage item is NO LONGER AVAILABLE. I'm presently trying to source a blower fan from auto wreckers with no luck yet. After all ...

Re: Blower motor upgrade - Fiero

In addition, I thought that maybe the earlier cars with positive earth would rotate the Pontiac Fiero fan in an anti clockwise direction, but I still don't know where the appropriate vein fan cage was sourced from. Any ideas?

Blower motor upgrade - Fiero

I only recently purchased a 1968 fixed head that's in great unrestored shape. The blower motor was seized and the air box needed TLC so I followed the Pontiac Fiero blower motor upgrade route that seems so popular after cleaning up the air box and replacing the heater core. My car is negative earth ...

Has anyone found another source for an interior windshield mounted rear view mirror that will attach to the stock curved metal hook? The plastic threads on the back of mine just disintegrated and I'm not sure how I can replace or rebuild the threads. I've thought of making the threaded section out o...
