Temp Switch

1988 350 IROC - There is what looks like a temp/fan switch near the #8 spark plug - I believe it is a single wire - anyone familiar with part/part number ? I believe this controls the second fan. Also not a cooling question but what is your opinon on using a Battery tender ? Any potential damage to computer? Any problems with battery fumes ? The battery IS NOT sealed - should I remove the cap(s)? I also have a heater core to replace which I have been prolonging for a while. Thanks !!

Re: Temp Switch

The part is a cooling fan switch:

Shouldn't have any issues with a battery tender - they only charge 1 or 2 amps at a time, and they start/stop as needed. I wouldn't think caps need taken off since it only runs 1 or 2 amps - when charging witha real charger, your running 10 or better charging amps, which can build up fumes from the acid heating up and become an issue, but shouldn't with a little tender.
