I bought a ’73 MGB that didn’t blow heat. A quick check of the leads show them reversed; I re-reversed the leads, and Wow! Heat! An easy, no-cost fix.

Interesting - the motors  have rotate the same direction no matter which
leads are connected to pos/neg sources.  These motors on blowers for 77
Midget, 60 Bugeye Sprite and 71 Lotus Europa.  All Smith's.
