My blower motor sounds like a bingo hopper or a bucket of ping pong balls getting g dumped when it's is turned on. What's a good replacement to get to replace the 46 year old unit?

Seen several videos of people getting one for a OBS / 1994 full size Blazer probably the same price bolted right in and has more airflow. I actually put one in my 87 Caprice went right in but my battery was dead and haven’t gotten a new one yet to try it out.

That's the same blower motor that all squares got like 1980 up. It is an upgrade on the earlier ones but not later.

At this point I am looking for a replacement that is quiet. Even if it's a direct replacement. My blower is just like a lot of us Members here old and make noise when moving.

I bought a battery and tested the one on my car last week. It's quiet and works great,
