I have had two blower motors quit running, so far, this summer; one was the OEM motor that came on the car, the second was one I purchased from a salvage yard.

Every component of my a/c works except for the fan, and I really can't be too upset that the junkyard blower didn't hold up. It was probably as old as my original.

If I knew the specs on the motor -- amps, correct rpm for "high" operation, etc., I could probably just buy a comparable motor off a shelf, and use it. I am skilled in sheet metal fabrication, and believe I could fabricate a shroud that would bolt up to the blower box on my '80 300SD.

Can someone help with the #'s I need, please? I'd be happy to post pics of the finished product for other members, once the project is completed. Let's face it, new OEM motors are just too pricey for an old beater, and sooner or later, we'll all need some alternative to what is working now.
