Can I just get one at the auto parts store and put my knob on it? or is there a certain part I need? Thanks guys- Gary LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

Might see if you can access the rheostat coil & see if it has an open or just needs cleaning where the tang rides across it. If not, what Yancy said & a bit of dielectric grease on the terminals helps live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
