In the later HVAC boxes (this came out of a 1991), the power leads are grommetted into the box. In an older box (like my 1988's original), the motor is exposed on the back, with a rubber tube that goes from the vent on the motor to the housing.

This "universal" motor spins either CW or CCW; you wire it up the right way. Which is ... black positive for our trucks.

This is just about perfect with the new blower wheel. It's not hitting the cover, but it's close enough that there's not much if any air that escapes above the fan.

After that shot, I scribed it with a sharp knife, then used Loktite Blue on the set screw (this one is 3MM hex).

The tab broke due to age; I zip tied it back on to keep it from walking free after assembly.

The new heater core came with gasketting, save for that big one. Which in this pic is on the wrong side of the housing.

I recycled the gaskets off the old evaporator; I can't find anyone who supplies the gaskets. They're compressed foam rubber.

It grouses me some to wire up a black to a green, and a black to an orange, but it's how it blows the right way.

This is the cooling vent on the VDO motor I used. It needs air, so it ends up pointing downwards.
