I'll vouch for that, my ex was batshit crazy and boy o boy she was a blast and was up for all kinds of adventures 😎I was always told that crazy always had the best
I spent some time with a redheaded hairdresser.
I ain't afraid of sh!!!t. Lol

So it looks like I could do this if I make the second fan the primary (red), and I make the primary the circuit to trigger the PS pump at speed (green). Also, it looks like you can set up an after-run cooler using the ignition off function (blue)... negating the need for the manual switch I added. It doesn't state if it is for the primary or secondary fan or both. But, relay(s) could prevent it from allowing the PS pump from running too.
The adapter fittings came in today, so that means that I could have this up and running by the end of the weekend.
Now... The interesting question... Did anyone notice the guy giving the presentation wearing a sidearm...?
He is an attorney, was attending a firearm class, he has now become a stand up comedian as well.
Took a little time today to start working on the EPS pump. Cleaned things up a bit more and stared at the place I want it to go. After realizing it probably won't fit, I reconciled myself to the distinct likelihood I am moving the air filter.
The challenge is the pump isn't light and the bracket looks as though it was designed to rest on a structural part of the Volvo's chassis. Ideally I would set this on the frame - but at over 12" high it is either going to be cantilevered off the frame or body, or hung off the core support.
Biggest hurdle is the orientation of the pump relative to the steering box... plus, is it's pouring out, and I am not putting Natasha's Camaro outside to do this just so I can wash it later too. So, I'll be picking it up again tomorrow.
In the meantime I did start making a bracket to hang the fluid reservoir. This TIG is a hilarious advancement in fabrication options. The weld is a little goopy because it's been weeks (?) since I last practiced.

What's the weight of that pump overall? Does it vibrate where it really needs rubber isolation?
What's sketchy? Handles bad as in needs alignment, spins easy?
