[DeTomaso] Blower motor replacement

[Ken Green]

I assume you just use a single speed fan with the PWM power supply.  Is there a preferred after market single speed fan motor?

Brian,

Had time over lunch and did some searching and' GT-40 Jack' recommended this
one, too. (he'll love it when I tell him I used that name...)

Again, you have to move the potentiometer to the dash and hook it up with
wires.
