You are correct , it's getting hard to find the entire system anymore and it's fairly simple to disable the air blowing so it just looks neat , I'm searching for all the various parts now as I'd like to replace it in my '69 C/10's 250.....
Thanks! Good to know about the warpage issue. Maybe I'll go ahead and disable it. Good luck with your search. I'll keep my eyes open for you.
