If anyone knows the resistance of the motor, I can order the correct Rheostat, but I can live with a straight 12V to the motor if I have to, too.

OR, if you just happen to know the correct OHM rheostat already, pelase let me know!

I could be wrong but I've never seen a car use a rheostat on the blower motor; they always have a bank of discrete resistors. The speed switch selects a different resistor for different blower speeds.
