The Climatizer blower was in the trunk when we got the car. I repaired it but can't figure out
where and how it mounts in the engine compartment. It has a large mounting assembly
attached to the blower cage. None of the manuals help locate the mounting. Please send
a photo of the installation in a 57 Silver Hawk.

...THANKS!!

Hi John,
I don't understand.
I would think inside the wheel well would expose the blower to all kinds of road grime etc. thrown up by the tire.
Do you or anyone have a pic or sketch of the location ?

If you have a Starlight Champ, take a look at it! All '47 to '60 Sedan types and '53 to '62 C & K bodies have the same setup, the right fender air door has to connect to the fan to connect to the under seat heater core, so there is no other way it could work! The fan is sealed, the motor is semi-sealed and many factory installed ones were covered with undercoating, so it has not been a major problem to have them fender well mounted.

Would it be better with a inner fender to protect it? Sure it would, and those WERE available for C & K models, may still be somewhere! [^]

You will find the three mounting holes just below the the hood surface of the right inner fender, the nuts go on top, bolts on the bottom.

Engine nearly done. It was frozen and a real mess. Runs good now. Pic is about six
months old . A filter has been added to the carb line and a chrome air cleaner.
