    Hello again Hamber's , I got a question , not sure of . It's is this ,I restored my heater box ( deluxe , new 12v motor , core & blower wheel) . Now something's got me wondering , should I update the switch in the dash , you know with a new fan switch resistor . I believe it will work with 12v conversion & have not seen any updated 12v resistors for the original switch for the 54's . Wadda yaz think ? Should be good with 12v ? To me it's just a reostat so..... I thought 6v motors pulled more amps anyway . Thanks .

    Well Thanks Bob , filling station said if original is working , no need to replace ( guessing that means it will handle the 12v going thru it ) . If it doesn't , I saved your idea & will go that route . I thank you for your advice ! Be safe !
