Dear Mark,

Beg to disagree about the fan.  On both my '84 and '85 the fan drove
the dash vents very well, just no temperature control.  I liked it that way.

Now on my '89 the vents are temp-controlled which I don't wish, and
have less output as well, presumably from having taken a trip through
the heater core (which may be plugged up, have to look).  If there is
a way for me to change my present system back to the old one, I will take it.

Yours,
David
