I agree, very nice engine bay...I'm compulsive/obsessive by trade but I still don't have the energy to get mine looking that good...nice fan too.

Welcome to the forum and the Darkside. In my sig line is a link to the online FSMs, carb manual, etc.. Read and download whatever you need and be sure to read the faqs and browse through the archives.

To answer an earlier question regarding adjustable thermostats, most of the autoparts stores carry them, cheaper than BG. I have one on the widebody. Be sure to add a relay in the circuit for reliable operation. I have an Autometer temp gauge and have the thermostat set to come on at 180*.

When adding an electric fan, from whatever vehicle or even a new one, it's a good time to also add in the FC underhood fuse block to simplify and clean up the wiring. This allows one to get rid of the fusible links and have a couple extra circuits for any additional electrical items one may wish to add.
