I don't know about its characteristics, but it's physical location is on 
the heater box itself.

I remember Chuck Engles had some issues with his; it broke down and caused 
so much resistance that it caught fire!

If you're going to go through the trouble of sorting out the heater fan, 
you might as well replace the whole unit with a modern one.   This 
incorporates the resistor inside the motor assembly itself, and it wires up directly to 
the switch.   Typical units are three-speed, so you get to choose which two 
of the three speeds you use.

Cheers!
