radiator question

i have a high flow Griffin radiator and Perma-Cool fan i am going to be installing shortly, my problem is that on the stock radiator there is a wire beside the filler cap and two wires on the drivers side bottom of the radiator, what do these wires do?? and what happens if i dont have fitting welded onto the Griffin radiator and hook these wires up??


i have a 88 SE

The top one is the coolant level sensor, and I dont remember exactly what the bottom ones are. I *think* it is a coolant temp sensor for the cold-start system. As far as I know, it is not necessary.

ditch the bottom one, you don't want it. it will get rid of your 3000rpm startup. I don't think there is anyway to get the top one on. you really should though!
