I have a spare 2 stage resistor from the 3 speed rad fan setup for 86+
factory AC. It is marked .27 ohms and .09 ohms.

I think they are connected in series for low speed, so .36 ohms.
Don't whether med speed is .27 or .09


I also have a spare 1 stage resistor from the non-AC Syncro 2 speed rad
fan setup. It is marked .365 ohms.
