Andrew nailed it....
I used a Derale adjustable fan controller with a threaded temp sender instead of the probe type that pushes into the radiator. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-16749/ I used an adapter similar to the one below for the sender unit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/32mm-1-1-4i...#ht_3609wt_1253 The filler and catch can are in the engine compartment. The hoses were adapted/reduced to 1" id green stripe hardwall and run under the car.  |
