  Does anyone know where I can get a 6 volt, 2 speed blower motor (heating system) for a 1951 Ford Victoria ? All I'm able to find is generic single speed motors. Thanks.

Rick

  hi 51 Ford
you should have a 2 speed switch, or a variable switch using resisters ,
in the dash
check your heater switch to see what you have,
what wrong with your motor,
it may only need freeing up, stuck from sitting,?
I think all heater blower motors are controlled by a switch,
my 2 cents 37RAGTOMAN
post a photos of your blower motor

  Hi 37RAGTOPMAN,

When I got my car, the person that I bought it from had a working 2 speed,12 volt motor installed. ????? My car is still 6 volt and I have no plans of changing it to 12 volts. The car has a working 2 speed switch, so I now need a working 2 speed 6 volt motor to put in place of the 12 volt one that should not have been there. If I cannot locate a 2 speed motor, I may have to use a generic single speed motor and create a second speed using a resistor.
Thanks for trying to help.
Regards,
Rick

  C&G lists one in their catalog

Rearcounter.com says Dennis Carpenter has 2 of P/N 1A-18527-A in stock

You might also look for a small motor repair facility to see if they can convert your motor to 6 volts. Some generator shops will also do it.

37ragtopman, the 1951 Ford has a 3 lead 2-speed motor that uses a change in field strength to control the speed of the motor, not the resister type used from the 1930's to the 1950's.

  hi 1951 Victoria
what I found in a original FORD parts book [ July 1950 ] is
the switch should have a according to the book it says,
part # OA 18578-D switch with bulb -rheostat type
and the photo of the blower motor only shows to wires coming out of it,
so I assume one is the hot wire and the other is a ground,
if blower motor runs back ward, reverse the wires it is a DC motor
hope this helps 37 Ragtopman

  Hi,
Thanks for the help. I finally settled for a single speed generic motor. When coupled with a switch from a '49 or '50 car that has a built in resistor allows for the second or low speed.
Thanks,
Rick

  I'll bet that Chris Robbins in Germansville , Pennsylvania has one! There isn't much that he doesn't have!!!
