A new thread would have been better, but I appreciate the interest.

My project is in limbo. Car just got shipped back to GA, and I have my little shop and can work on it at my leisure, in between job interviews.

I picked up an assortment of restrictors, but at the moment using a gutted t stat. I have the mechanical fan, but need to pick up the studs. Thinking of fabricating a shroud with wire frame and fiberglass.

Also need to instal the sensor for the mechanical temp sensor, and get the guages working so I can have a better idea of what's going on.
