I just finished pulling and replacing the original blower motor in my 66. It was making an unacceptable noise but using penetrating oil (not WD40) I eleminated the noise for now.
When re-attaching the blower I was not sure where the blower motor capacitor re-attached and did a search that indicated the capacitor is secured by one of the blower screws. I am not sure the capacitor is directly connected with one of the blower mounting screws.
First the capacitor mount is not consistent with a small screw mount as it is very wide and would require a washer in order to make a good connection. Second the mounting bracket has some unusual shapes that appear to have been made under pressure.
Based on what I saw I believe it is attached between the blower mounting flang and the heater/air box. This would account for the unusual bends in the capacitor mounting bracket as there are ridges and recesses in the blower motor mount. My guess is that it slides between the two and under one of the two screws either just right, or outboard on one of the less assessable screws. Based on the wiring and where it comes from and its routed to the positive motor post I believe it to be just outboard and under the negative electrical post.
Any thoughts or comments on my assumptions would be appreciated.
