    Blower motor and squirrel cage replacement on '66 Skylark with A/C

    Well, I got the blower out more easily than I thought. Five 1/4 bolts held it in, and it dropped right out of the bottom. And it was definitely shot and rattly. Merry Christmas!

    Blower motor and squirrel cage replacement on '66 Skylark with A/C

    Tom. I see that in Section 12 of the manual, but I think that's for cars with a heater only. Mine has A/C, and I don't see any reference to that procedure in Section 13 of the chassis manual. Will take a closer look at it tomorrow. Thanks for the reply.

    Is it possible to replace the blower motor and squirrel cage without removing the passenger side outer and inner fender? Can't the blower assembly simply drop out of the bottom of the plenum box? Mine rattles loudly for a minute or so, then quiets down, but might rattle on and off again. I...

    I've used Dynamat (and equivalents) on other cars in the past, and it always made a noticeable difference in cutting down road noise. Has anyone done theirs? Can I get to the exterior surface inside the doors? Kick panels? Under the carpet on the floorboards? Under the rear seat bottom...

    My gear indicator on the dash does not line up -- how do/can I adjust it?

    My '66 Skylark shifts properly, but the indicator in the dash is off by about an inch to the left. Anyone know how to correct this?

    Newbie here. Love my "new" '66 Skylark coupe

    Woo hoo awesome white Skylark! So much nicer ride than the Corvair Corsa I'll be selling! Question: Can I run regular gas in my stock/rebuilt 300? The specs say so, but just checking to see what you folks all do. Thanks in advance, Ron
