Project "Sweet 16"

[skymangs]

x2 on 99's comments. We have a kill switch behind the seat (in the center of the cab).

I run a 185 on 180 off sender that threads into the manifold ( hate those probes with the "adustable" control. I don't trust them). So far the boys truck runs at about 175 on the highway, and 180-85 in town at 95* ambient outside air tempature with the AC at full blast. The reason for the increased temp in town I'm sure is that the pusher fan doesn't move quite enough air (I'm working on a solution to that now).

I'm using an ez 12 circuit harness. It has switched power for the fan and is relayed in the fuse box. A very nice setup. I've never felt the need to leave the fan on after the engine is off (my system never goes over 205 deg when shut off). If you did want that, you could wire a switched override to bypass the sender, but it seems like a lot of effort for not much gain.

Washer squirters came off a 63 Chevy truck (I think they may have been aftermarket), the tank is an old glass washer fluid bottle (60's GM) and the pump is a Oreilly's aftermarket cheapo. Works well though.

Hope that helps.
