[T3] "Dark side" heater improvement


Hi everyone,
 	On sunday I got fed up w/ my heater performance, (being that it was a
beutifull 70 deg day w/ out a cloud in the sky).  I check the hoses and
found one was defective.  I quickly replaced it w/ one from the parts
car.  Then the dark side of the force hit me.....
	I lifted up the back seat, and studied the plastic heat box.  The i
compressed it and removed the offending stock item.  Enter one T4 bus
heater blower (purchased the day before from a local junk yard).  I took
the blower off it's mounting bracket, and tryed to manage a good fit.
	Next to the hardware store to buy:  a 3" posable tin tubing, a roll of
metal tape for ducting, assorted hose clamps. 
	Within an hour, i had an air tight fit between the blower and all
heater tube openings. And the best part is the wiring.  The + wire from
the blower just made it to the vacant terminal on the rear defroster
relay, and the ground just got reattached to the relay mount.  
	Now When ever i need a little heat boost, I just hit the rear defroster
switch.  :-)
