Here's how you can find one:
* Online Retailers: Sites like Amazon, eBay, RockAuto, and PartsGeek often list blower motors for classic cars. Crucially, you'll need to specify the year, make, and model of your Cutlass Supreme when searching. Be sure to carefully check the compatibility details provided by each seller.
* Auto Parts Stores: Check your local auto parts stores (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA). They may have the part in stock, or be able to order it. Again, providing the exact vehicle information is vital.
* Junkyards/Salvage Yards: Junkyards are a good option for finding used parts at a lower cost. Call ahead to see if they have a 1986 Cutlass Supreme and if the blower motor is available.
* Specialty Classic Car Parts Suppliers: There are suppliers specializing in parts for older vehicles. A web search for "classic car parts" along with your car's details should turn up some options.
Before you buy:
* Check the existing blower motor: Sometimes the problem isn't the motor itself, but rather a faulty resistor, wiring, or switch. Diagnosing the issue properly before buying a replacement will save you money and effort.
* Compare part numbers: If you can find the part number on your old blower motor, use that number to search for a replacement. This ensures a perfect fit.
Remember that finding parts for a 37-year-old car can sometimes be challenging. Be patient and persistent in your search. Good luck!
