[69 Limelight]

Bringing this old thread back up because I tried what "70455HOVert" talks about in post #'s 16,17,18,21 & 23 (5/20,21 & 23 2016) on my '69 GTO w/factory a/c. I used the GM motor 158535(52466066, 52498870) for the '95 Chevrolet Astro Van w/auxilliary rear A/C instead of the VDO/Continenal PM136 from Rock Auto like 70455HOVert did. Wish now that I would have went with VDO because he talks of blades being bigger and more curved than what our cars use and the fan on the GM motor I bought was similar to our OEM fans, BUT the motor does spin faster (and my my measurement draws less amps than the factory replacement motor). It's a definite improvement in velocity and volume of air flow out vents but, not the"hurricane" that 70455HOVert speaks of (BUT to his credit he used the VDO PM136 motor and if the picture on Rock Auto is accurate the blades on fan are bigger and more curved than the GM motor that I bought from Rock Auto). I would definitly recommend this substitution when replacing blower fan motor. As 70455HOVert says, it's a direct bolt in. The motor is little shorter therefore the cooling hose (from air box back to blower motor) fits with a little tweaking but in my case original hose was so rotten from being 52 years old that it ripped and I had to make one from 5/8" clear plastic tubing but no big deal.
