RE: In need of a heater blower-motor

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

Here's a tip for the glove box bolts (BTDT, got the ripped T shirt): use
one of those socket extension universal joints for the two bolts up
against the transmission tunnel. Another tip: recline the passenger
seatback all the way, so it's easier to do the mandatory headstand to
get the bolts in, but be VERY careful not to hook your shorts on the
seat controls. I had my seat moving toward the dash, trying to crush me,
for no apparent reason (shades of Christine) until I discovered my belt
loop pulling the switch in that direction!
