Any Info on the blower motor control rheostat

[elkyman70]

Trying to get my blower motor back in operation. Bought a used switch, took it apart and cleaned it up and it worked for a little bit then died again. Has anyone used something aftermarket to control blower speed and have the AC work?

Nostalgic has a 3 speed blower switch that drops right in

I just replaced the temp switch, fan speed switch and vents on my '76 (RQB 2392) yesterday. They all were very easy to replace.  The variable speed rheostat type switch according to Dan Booth is no longer available, the 3 speed switch is its replacement. All wires clipped onto the switches and the new vents hold the position they are set at whereas my old vents were too worn to hold position.  My rheostat switch was wrapped with electrical tape and the tape was pretty brittle indicating it had gotten pretty warm operating the AC.  The temp adjusting switch was still working, but I figured do them both and be done with it. I got them the next day after ordering them.

From Oreilly Auto Parts, you want Murray 35701.  It is a 3 speed switch which uses the same number of wires and works perfect.
