[Chevelle-list] Electric Fan Sensor

[Rob Shaffer]

Thanks Dale.  I also found this one that has 2 3/8" fittings:

The price is a little better.  I've also read that some GM housings actually
have a fitting for temp sensor in them, but have not been able to find one
yet.  I wish I had thought of this problem in advance.  I could have had a
bung put in the radiator.  Live and learn.  Thanks.
