If this is a typical DC motor set up, the high position would bypass the resistor sending full voltage to the motor to turn max speed. There must be a connection or wire that is seperate of the resistor from the power source to the fan. Do you have a wiring diagram?

It's gotta be there,, but if i remember, the power take off point was moved on later years, don't know where to though. Best way to look for it is to find the power block, it's just a small metal screw down, directly (1/2") under the horn relay. It comes off red, goes to fuse, goes out org. Wires coming off of there go several places, on of them goes to the fuse. if it's not there, post your year and and question for it's location on forum.
designed that way. no CO.
it goes from the fuse, then into a wire harness over to the blower motor relay.

dont give UP, 78 is a little different from older models. orange wire goes from selector switch to high speed blower relay.and controls it, it has no inline fuse, uses the same fuse as rest of ac system.
there is a red wire on high speed blower relay that supplies power directly from starter positive terminal to the blower motor. that red wire goes through a large connector with several wires right above the right valve cover next to ac box. check that connector for corossion and power.
