what kind of ducting can I use to go from the blower motor to the J tubes? Is there any alternative to the stock ducting?

Knowing that one of the biggest problems with the heating system in these cars is heat loss. Has anyone tried using the foam insulation that comes in a can to unsulate the main ducting in the inner long?

This might provide more to the paper insulator that is already there.

There should be minimal heat loss through the j tubes and hoses since they're not that long. If the heat exchangers are in good shape and the control flapper boxes are properly adjusted, the heat is enough to keep us warm in Chicago, should be more than enough for California (even in the mountains).
