If you can't find one you may be able to repair the one you having using pasts from a 4 pin. I have usually found the coils rusted out. You could unsolder the coil from a 4 pin and use it to replace the rotten one if that is the case.

the bidding has ended but it gives you the part number and maybe you can contact the seller to see if they have anymore or if they can help you track down one...

checked thoroughly,look good. not sure about thermo resistor ? was thing along you idea about replacing the whole thing but not sure where i would run the thick blk wire to. it plugs in on therm post and runs back to relay. on a 78-79 that wire plugs into motor. just thinking. . my brother is going spring carlisle show tomorrow. and gonna look for a replacement. thanks very much for response, ron

I wasn't thinking to replace the 5 pin with a 4 pin, just use parts from a 4 pin. If you brother can't find a 5 pin fan resistor if you can figure out the value of the resistor you can replace that.I hate throwing out a whole unit for a part that failed that costs less than a $1
