I am going to take it to NAPA and get a 12 V fan that will fit the mount strap on the back tomorrow. I have defrost vents in my dash but no ducting or places to hook the ducting to on the heater core, any ideas?
If you need a tool and don't buy it, you will find you have paid for it and don't have it.

if it dosen't need fixed, break it

I have a pair of them I don't need (came with the new heater). Email me if you want them cheap.  | | |

I went to Fleet Farm and bought some aluminum duct that was designed for other parts of a new car. They came in a variety of diameters, but only in 18" lengths. flexible expandable ...fit nice.

I have a complete deluxe heater in the swap meet for sale. It has everything you need except the flexible tubing, and I can send you some pictures if you want.

Anyway $40 tax free and no shipping and it was mine. Even has the water controler.
