My purpose for this posting was to make people aware that a previous owner may have installed the wrong blower in their D. The performance of the wrong squirrel cage blowing in the wrong direction will provide a reasonable amount of air flow from the vents. But this is just wrong! I've read too many posts about people reversing the polarity on their new blower motors to get the 'proper' air flow. THIS IS WRONG! If you didn't keep your old squirrel cage when you made the change, then you are screwed! Since I usually keep several junk cars in my yard, I couldn't see ordering a new fan from a D vendor when I had a few candidates sitting in my yard. I put one in with a larger motor. I got nothing. I reversed the polarity and got a good amount of air flow, but it wasn't the same as my squeaky OEM even though the other motor was larger. I took it out and took a good look at everything and figured out what had happened. Now my D has the OEM one back in place with the squeaky motor. I don't want to buy a new motor only to have it go bad for the same reason as the first motor. The reason my original blower went bad is because it filled with water. Why did it fill with water? My condensate drain does not appear to be clogged. So what's the deal? It only had 9000 miles on it when it started giving problems. Why do the bearings get wet and rust to pieces? I do not want to replace my blower motor with the 'correct' OEM part. That motor is too small since I know there are larger motors out there that will fit and deliver more air. In my Olds long ago, the blower went bad. I went to a junk yard to get a new motor. My friend noticed this larger brand-new looking blower in an old Cadillac. I said, "No way, that is too big." But he talked me into buying it anyway. It fit (barely). I had to remove some insulation from under the hood so it would clear the longer motor. Then my air blew like a hurricane! It was great! I tried putting this same motor in my Delorean, but it had the polarity problem... and you know the rest of the story. However, the combination of the larger Cadillac motor with the polarity reversed with the original Delorean squirrel cage gave a better air flow than the OEM setup. Now that I've seen better, I will not settle for OEM. I put the Cadillac blower back in my Olds since that is still a running car and I need the a/c working in it. Besides, I know that the D would only fill it with water again and rust it to pieces. All the junk cars in my stock pile used the smaller style motor like the original on the Delorean, and they had the polarity problem. Those just won't do. So do any of the D vendors sell the larger than OEM motor that spins in the correct fashion for the D? I read in the back issues that there is a blower with a larger than OEM motor that NAPA sells that is meant for a van. If this fits the D without reversing the polarity, then this is what I want. If any Delorean vendor sells this part, then let me know. Otherwise I will buy it from NAPA. Sorry to sound like an ass. I get this way when I stay up drinking. I need the right size beer can to make a baffle for my fuel sending unit. I think the 1 quart size in Foster's Lager will do nicely. I'll let y'all know how it turns out.
