84 tech. I replaced a working motor (how many revolutions had it spun after 20+ years?) with a new one and am satisfied with the result. Does it blow as well as my 94 Jeep or my 09 Altima coupe? Nope.

Re: ac blower , any way to increase airflow

Yeah, compared to newer cars it seems kinda weak, but gain pleasure in being one of the lucky ones whose AC still works! Then again, as James mentions, you could always replace the motor, but it's still gonna seem low-tech. I read somewhere they make plastic as well as aluminum or some kind of metal fans. Maybe possible upgrade there??

Faster fan speeds are one of the things that newer R-134a cars have. The faster fan speed is one of things the automakers did to make the cars feel colder.

Your 84 is probably blowing just fine.
