E-fan termo control question
I've got a used Taurus fan and would like to install it soon. I've looked for a temp control module and prices are pretty different depending on whether it is adjustable or just one set temp. There is a $35 difference between one that is adjusted between 160 - 280 and one that just kicks on at 185. I thought the 185 one should do just fine. Am I off base with this? Should I get one that I can adjust the temp on or can I just go with the 185 degree controller?

the adjustable unit that I got at autozone was 18 bucks, but I had to convince them that they actually had it. They didn't have it out on the shelf, but back behind the counter instead. Works great. Save your money...

I would recomend this one from Summit Racing ive had it for 3 years. It's digital so theres no guessing where the fan temp is set for. There is a peak hold function and a temperature gauge. I made an adapter to use it where the choke sensor is on the water neck, so I have 2 temp gauges

No, This is an actual Digital temp gauge with a fan controller built in. After searching for a while and trying the bulb type this worked good. If you set it for 195 it comes on. There is an 1/8 pipe thread sender to screw in the block or the water outlet like i did. I just had to rethread a brass adapter where the choke sensor on the waterpump housing went.

I'm using a thermo switch, 185*, from a volvo... in a volvo rad. but to say I'd just go with the 185* switch. I ran an adjustable and didn't care for it myself. Just my $.02.
