Re: 1984 Chevy El Camino
Nice good looking out brah...i will be getting parts slowly myself...monies tight over here as well...I most likey will be getting fans and relay on ebay as a set so that i know the amps will work perfect with the fans and is going to coming with everything I need to hook it up...But the one i see on ebay comes with a temp sensor that goes into the engine block? I have my temp gauge temp sensor in there know...do i need to exempt that and just go off my fans...I would like to have my temp gauge working as well....I know its not much once i have everything in my hand...im sure will alittle more counseling i will get it....or youtube....lol...thanks brah
LSCustoms said:I remembered when I was looking at warrens it was i that general area under the radiator fill cap, when u put it there, the only place to mount it was on the fan shroud housing and it was pretty simple, came with locking nuts... and it held up pretty strong...80ELCAMINOFLAKE said:Skip Brah! thats looking sweet....But did i miss something tho, where did u mount the radiator overflow tank...i dont think i seen it in the pics...or i must be tripping
I want to do the same set-up, But thats whats holding me back, I dont know where to Mount the Overflow tank once i get the fans and radiator top plate......im going to start ordering little by little...but want to be ready so when the time comes i can install asap..lol
oh and about the relay and the connection, thats another question i have, how do u run the fan connections...u can PM me if u like..
Keep up the good work brah...would love to see elko soon...holla

as far switching the fans on and off, i got my set up for about $35 at a local speed center, they gave me a little discount i think, cause the one I wanted was $100... it is adjustable on and off temp points...
there were 6 wires coming out of it and a relay, along with an adjustment knob, that you need a very small flat head to adjust...
on the fan side, I wired/soldered both the negatives together and to one long wire, then lengthened the positive of each fan so that there were three wires to hook up from the fan... 1-ground, 1-fan #1, and 1-fan #2. i heat shrunk that and put it in wire loom to make it look closer to factory...
on the relay switch set up, there were approx. 6 wires, there were 1-positive (to battery), 1-negative (ground this wire to the battery along with all ground wires), 1-ignition (to a power source switched on by the ignition), 1-fan #1 (to the fan), 1-fan #2 (to the fan), 1-A/C (didnt use)
which ever kit u use, let me know, i will walk you through wiring it up and placing it, make sure you know what kind of amperage the fans you use draw, cause you will need a set up that can provide the correct amount, or else you fans may not turn on... real simple though bro
