electric fan temp switch

i know this has all been a little beat to death but I cant find what I'm looking for

I'm going efan because i currently don't even have a clutch fan or OEM shroud so why not

I'm not a big fan oh hooking it up to a switch i need to remember or hard wiring so its always on with the key.

I want a temp switch and preferably a screw in type not a probe type.

Can i remove the switch on the back of the water pump housing and install a temp switch there? from my understanding that is for the automatic choke release and nothing else since i have a weber and the ability to push in my own choke switch i don't see a need for that.

If so does anyone know the thread pitch of that port?

appreciate the help

M18x1.5 and yes since you do not want/need an auto-choke it can be used.

I always run my fans at 180 degrees personally, because I like keeping the system as cool as possible. I try to keep oil and water temps at 180 all year, turbocharged applications have a slight exception though.
