[Chevelle-list] Electric Fan Sensor

[Daniel Solomon]

The 454 I bought was out of a 1978 Truck. The water neck has a boss in the top for a sensor. I didn't use it but still have it here in a box. Can send you a picture if it would help you locate one.Thanks,Dan Solomon For those out there that won't stand behind our Troops...They are always welcome to stand in front of them! http://www.freewebs.com/chevelles1970/

I also found this one that has 2 3/8" fittings: http://www.streetrodstuff.com/Products/1749/  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. Rob

Check http://cantonracingproducts.com/coolant_acc/coolant_acc.html about half way down the page, item #80-116.  It's a water neck spacer that fits between the intake and the water outlet housing.  It has a single half-inch NPT port and two 3/8-inch NPT ports for temp senders/lines.  Two of the ports would need to be plugged off and you could use a reducer bushing to accept your fan temp switch. A little pricy at $55 though.
 
Another (albeit ugly IMO) option is a later model water inlet housing that is tapped for a sensor.  Not sure what they came on originally but I've seen them.

Well I installed the alumitech radiator and dual Spal electric fans today.  Everything seems to work correctly.  However, I did run into one small problem.  The fans and temp gauge will not run off the same sender ... duh!  I thought about just moving the fan sender to the heads, but 66 heads do not have a sender fitting.  So what are my options?  What have others done?  I suppose one option would be to put the fans on a manual switch, but that would be a pain and what if you forget to turn them on.  Thanks. Rob S.1966 SS396 Convertible
