Need a hint on how to get the blower assembly up under the cowl. I spoke to Luis at HPH who says connect the cable before putting the blower into place. I managed to get the cable connected up securely, but the plastic housing doesn't want to slide up into place.

Have you seperated the halves -the front part that says "Behr" or whatever is held to the bottom fan impeller/motor unit with little metal clips that slide off? I'm not sure it will give enough room to pull out/ put in the fan unit, but it might...
On a similar note, I want to put a stronger motor in that thing. Have you ever considered that? Seems like it should be pretty easy to find a motor 30 yrs better.... |

I installed the cable after the air box and fan assembly were in place. If I ever do it again I will try it like Luis suggested and install the cable first. It took a lot of time for me to get the asm installed. I stopped and walked away twice and came back to it after a few days. During my third attempt I bent in the mounting tab located under the cowl just a bit to see if it would give the last little bit of better alignment that I needed to get the driver's side bolt started. It worked for me ... the celebration beer was real sweet after that! |

It's hanging up on that mountiing tab that you mentioned. I'll try and bend the driver's side tab a little bit and see if it will squeeze into that space.
I didn't separate the two halves of the unit. |
