Sorry, what blast? I do have a 74 6 and even with the blower in
stage two it doesn't give more than a slight flow, surpisingly it is enough
to lower engine temp if necessary but not to warm driver. Doesn't matter too
much, there are jumpers in this world but I think this system is far from
advanced, unless that is mine is crap for some reason.
