Re: My 68 swb build.

Oh and i stopped my orielieys and got a adjustable thermostat for the electric fans...but i dont like the setup where you stick the probe through the radiator...doesnt seem like it would be too acurate... my opinion what i think i should do..i have a threaded plug on the radiator that runs straight into the tank...im thinking get a reducer and epoxy the probe and make it permanent..i could use the probe that the kit came with or i could use a high dollar thermocouple that i have...they both do the same thing so i dont think it matters....opinions??

That sounds like best way to do it. That's how we do turbines so it sounds great for a truck.

Ya I used to work for immi turbines and did a lot of reverse engineering and refurbishing parts so there's a few things I can make work.
