Blower motor install
« on: February 14, 2012 - 06:13:09 PM »
So I bought my 72 barracuda with nothing attached to the firewall. I don't have a blower motor
and e-bag listings show a bunch of different styles. Does anyone have pictures of the
correct motor? and maybe installed? Some pictures show it attached to the firewall, and
others show it attached between the heater box and inside of the firewall. The car has a/c if that matters.

                                                                   Thanks, Andy
If I cant fix it, it's broke

I don't have pics but it mounts from the firewall side in once the heater box is in place. 3 #10 28 studs from the heater box come through and with a rubber seal, you bolt up under the hood. The reason why ac fits that way is to eliminate draining freon to do a heater motor. The non AC is inside. Sorry, attached is my roadrunner with the ac motor so you can see it installed.

The above post is correct... The A/C blower motor mounts to the firewall from inside the engine comp.  Non A/C cars have the motor mounted on the heater box itself...you have to remove the heater box to change it out.

Thanks for the info guys. Now if I knew which motor was correct
then I would be all set. Some pictures show a stamped steel housing
while others show what appears to be a cast housing with flared edges.
