Blower fan 1 speed only

The easiest thing to do is probably going to be locating the resistor, removing it, and inspecting both the resistor and the connector to it. If the connector is not melted (which was common for various Chrysler products from that era), chances are pretty good the thermal fuse built in to the resistor is blown. If you have a continuity or ohmmeter you can confirm whether or not the resistor is open.
On high speed, the resistor if bypassed, so your symptoms are very consistent with a bad resistor block assembly or melted resistor block connector.

As stated, its more then likely the resistor on the firewall or the connector. More then likely the resistor. Its less then $10 at a local parts store and takes 3 minutes to replace. Undo the connect and remove the two 5/16? Screws.
if its not that or the connector, theres another resistor pack inside the hvac fan speed selector. No worries on that though, that can be redone at home cheap or free. If it gets to that, ill do a write up for you.

My 1988, which is sporting a HVAC control unit out of a 1995, didn't have a resistor inside.
What it HAS, is a switch. Which is available separately.

Anyways, I'm going to dumb this down a little since youre an intelligent guy.
Remove the hvac unit from the dash. Remoce the little black piece on the switch where you chooss the speed. Flip it around so you can see the back where the vacuum lines connect. There's a couple fasteners to remove the silver box. Once you have that in your hands take a pair of pliers or similar and pry the tabs open. It should now seperate. Inside of that should be some grease to let the tab slide and springs like the resistor does. Replace the bad springs. Hardware store or whatever works. (True story. I went to the parts store to order a new one. Dead of winter in Ohio btw. Need heat now! He told me how much it was and I bout crapped myself. Anyways, he got to looking at it and askes if he minds if he took it apart. Figured why not, nothing to loose. Found the bad spring. And replaced it with a click bic pen he tore apart for me. He said go try that and lmk how it works. Told him give me 4 minutes and ill tell ya. Worked perfectly! I paid him with a 12 pack half an hour later. Still works great to this day. )

theres a resistor inside of that switch. And the resistor on the firewall. The firewall is easy and cheaply replaceable as you know. The one inside the cab on the hvac control unit is $60 and takes someone to order it usually.

No really that's pretty awesome! Good parts store you got.

I got two Napas within 20 minutes of me as well as two Advance Autos and one Autozone. The only one I like going to is Autozone because my friend works there and really really knows his stuff.
At least I have a hardware store like you describe...no auto parts store though.
