305 LG4 '86 with electric fan

When I first got the car it overheated, put in a 160 thermo, fan, radiator and new relay, no problems for years. Changed engines and now fan won't come on but everything is hooked and gets electricity. Finally I said screw it and made it manual with a toggle switch. Now I know it's on.

86 Z28 305 TPI single electric fan




Mine overheated a lot as well, found a good used Modine aluminum radiator at junkyard and installed it, new fan relay harness from dealer, spliced in a Hayden adjustable thermostically controlled relay (with radiator probe) from oreillys for like $20 in parallel with the stock relay at 160* so if the hayden relay doesnt kick on the ecm will power on the fan at 225*, 160* thermostat (drilled bypass holes to allow it to untrap airbubbles at idle). Works pretty good, planning to install a dual fan setup i bought from Ramchargers as soon as i figure out how to wire it up.

1984 Z28 L69 with now re- installed electric fan. My car came (to me) with a ****ty belt driven fan without a shroud. That car overheated until just a month or so ago!( I have owned this beast for over 2 years now!!!) So I decided to get an electric fan and had to hook it up through a toggle switch. I didn't want to deal with knowing if the fan switch was going to kick in or not!! The car came from the factory with a single electric fan. Also, the A/C was ripped out of the car before I purchased it. (along with EVERY piece of emission equipment)

I own an '86 T/A with a 305 TPI. It currently has a single electric fan.

The most interesting thing is that the mount used on my T/A is the same mount used in my '83 Chevy X-11 Citation. I figured there would be a shroud in the T/A.

'84 T/A...L69 = Electric Fan (single)

that's not currently turning on properly (so the car runs just fine at 40mph and above...but if I dip below that for too long the heat guage approaches the red fairly quickly (and boiled my coolant over...gah!)

Sooo...mine might be getting a new fan...perhaps now's the time to install aftermarket dual fans. (Figure it's either the fan or the temp switch that's broken)

'84 Z28 HO (L69), single electric fan.
'84 V6 sport coupe, single belt driven clutch fan.

I dunno what you're trying to find here, but my experience (FWIW) has been that the "high performance" (L69 or TPI) '84-'86 cars got the single electric, while the rest got a belt driven fan.
