    red wire to one side of the circuit breaker then another piece of red wire from the other side of the circuit breaker to the battery. Grey/back goes to the installed thermo switch, purple goes to the positive wire on the fan, then you also need to ground that black wire (ground) coming from the...

    installing a universal spal electric fan relay kit

    It depends on what you want to do, but for the average person yes you do.

    nice! 8) To make adjustments you don't have to move the bracket back. You just have to press in the little tab and push the slider in or out ONE click at a time then test drive until your happy with it. One little click makes a big change. I like that bracket, I'm going to look into getting one.

    Rear drum brake upgrade

    Just finished up my rear drum brake upgrade, since there aren't too many pics of the process i figured i'd share mine. first replaced stock 3/4" bore wheel cylinders with S-10 7/8" bore. I also highly recommend using wheel cylinder bracket because the retainer is a pain in the *ss to get in and...
