[Roadsters] Heater Blower Motor

[Graeme Suckling]

My idea on the reason is to keep the resistor AIR COOLED and protected.
It is a wire wound resistor and as such is a perfect exposed heating 
element.
If it wasn't inside the heater enclosure, imagine the fluff and stuff 
that would settle on the "element" resulting in a ........FIRE:'(
I had to fit all the heater parts to my '65 and I used a late model GM 
heater resistor in the stock location.
All it does is give you selection of the full12V and a few settings of 
less than 12v to vary the speed of the blower motor
Works fine:-)
