Just be glad it's not an MGB, there's no such thing as electrical problems after you've owned a B.

Anyway, as far as the efan goes, I'd recommend picking up a stock clutch fan for $10-15. Much more simple, much more reliable and it's not electrical, which will probably fix all your current problems.

You are going to have to give us more information. Start by explaining what you mean by
"did a regular battery and ground connect".

if you hooked it right to the battery how do you turn it off and on, did you use a switch ?
If you hook it to the hot side of the coil, it will come on when you turn the key to the on position.
