Seeking recommendations - New heater blower motor

If its a 67 non a/c, its probably a Leece Neville blower motor. As such, take blower fan off. Allen key set screw holds it on. I used a bit of penetrating oil and worked the fan loose to get it off. Theres 2 small nuts that hold an end plate on they attach to 2 long screws that go through the assembly holding both halves of the motor together.

I put a small centerpunch mark lining up on both halves before dissassembly to aid in lining things up on reassembly. Orient these marks facing on the side of the motor that points down so that they arent seen when the motor gets reinstalled in the car when done. Work the 2 halves apart. Sometimes they get stuck. Everything fits tightly together, there may be some rust. When reassembling the motor, i use thin copper wire on the brushes wire braids to hold the brushes back in the brush block when sliding the motor halves together. The wire i pull back and hold to the outside of the motor can half. You can tape the wire in place against the motor can to hold it upon reassembly.

When the halves are far enough together that the brushes are lined up with the armature, remove the wire and let the brushes contact the armature. This is a good time to scotchbrite the motor shaft on both ends, as well as use fine sandpaper on the armature to make it smooth again. I put mine in a drill and with it rotating i used fine sandpaper on the armature contacts to remove the grooving. The bearings are oillite bronse, and only require a few drops of oil. I used 30W motor oil on mine, but light machine oil works as well. When dissassembling note the location of thrust washers on either end of the motor and put them back exactly on the same side of the motor they came off of.

If you have a place to lay everything out thats not going to get messed with, i suggest laying everything out on a clean paper towel in the order of dissassembly, so you can reassemble everything in reverse order. Above all, Take your time reassembling, pay close attention to detail. I will post some pix in a bit detailing what i mean on the wires and brushes. I have redone a couple of these, and currently have one apart, that i need to put back together for my 67 as well.

Hope this helps
