[VintageLambo] Re: espada heater blower

Hello John and Peter: I had the same problem when I bought my Espada in 1988. The blower motor is supported by rubber isolator blocks to cut down on vibration; however, these sag over the years causing the motor to droop and the fan blades to hit the housing when turned on. First undo the center console(the one above the tunnel) by removing the screws found thru the ashtrays. Next you will have to remove the dash out of the car. To do this, remove the screws and nuts holding the dash to the brackets at each end. You will have to disconnect the speedo cable, amp gauge wires, radio etc. There are three cables that operate the vents; disconnect the ends at the vents. This will let youmove the center console back by about a foot to facilitate the removal of the dash. Once the dash is removed, open the heater box and do the needful. I had bought the isolator mounts from GTCP and they were inexpensive. Best of luck.
