Tech Specs For 116 A/C Blower Motor?¿

[Abner Mality]

I am sick of replacing 25-year-old blower motors with other, used 25-year-old blower motors, and having them fail too quickly. I need some techie to provide me with the proper amperage, RPM's, and whether the motor is CW or CCW in rotation, plus any other pertinent info.

My plan is to retro a new fan motor with whatever wiring and relay set up that it might take in order to effectively bypass the ACC amp. I am certain that I have the skills to fabricate a shroud from sheet metal, if I knew the proper ratings for a 12v motor, I'd just get on off the shelf, and build my own.

Further, I would be happy to document the fabrication with pics in case any other member is in need of them for a retro similar to the one I have in mind.

And, before you ask; No, I can't afford a new motor.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Gilly. As soon as I can find a motor, I'll begin the project, and post step-by-step pics.
