[Brian Hill]

Thanks, I have been watching this whole blower motor thread.  Mine could 
definitely use some upgrading.

Brian,

Just go to eBay and do a search for pulse width modulator. There are many 
available at almost any price range you'd like. 

If you want the exact model I used on the GT40, I'll need to go home and look it 
up. It's been awhile, but it kinda' looks like this one...

You have to unsolder the potentiometer from the board, install the potentiometer 
into the dash and then run wires accordingly.

Regards,
Kirby
