[Spridgets] '68 Sprite heater core/blower motor

[Gerard Chateauvieux]

Yeah, you've jogged my memory now. I think the motor and core are  
correct, it's just the vent flat that was changed to be on the front  
of the motor housing. I've never had one of those around, so I didn't  
remember.

Thanks!

Gerard
