So i ordered a new blower motor resistor at NAPA....BR530....which is what mine should have been but appon opening the box it is not the same as what is in my coach.
The BR530 replaces all resistors of the pin variety according to the NAPA people....problem is mine has the 4 male pins arranged like a "t", 2 on top and 2 accross bottom, not like the 3 accross the bottom with one on top.
Has anyone just pulled the pins and connected? If so what wires go were? (To buy the different connector is 50 to 75$$...not happening)
I can get a similar resistor by using Autozone part # DR798 but that ones resistors legs have a bit of a bend in them.
So do i open connect to the BR530 or wait till im in the US next week qand pick up a DR798 at Autozone and hope the bends dont matter?

Just deleted my reply - Should have read more closely. Early morning... no coffee in me yet. So - Just consider this a Good Morning post 
If no one else can answer your question, maybe try to match up the pin configurations from old and new with the specific resistors? Sounds like a royal PITA tho' I'm sure someone has the answer.

Rich,
I faced the same issue but found the correct style on eBay. I think
77-78 used a different one. Is this one like yours?
