Re: Confusing fan switches
I'm not sure on your car. I know stock it was screwed down. Mines just resting there. Look from the top and follow the dipstick and look for a little tang in it that's either screwed down or welded. If it welded your stuck with it in the way.

Re: Confusing fan switches
92 Camaro- are you trying to do everything from up top? Like I said before, when I did my swap, I was under the car the whole time! I know the weather sucks, but try it from underneath the car, you'll be able to look right at the hole! Alining the switch to the hole will be much easier.

Re: Confusing fan switches

Re: Confusing fan switches
Coolant temp is there too. They sit side-by-side 
My '86 is carbed if it matters. Which is why this site is confusing to me at times when someone doesn't post what kind of car they have.
Has anyone thought about using the earlier t-stat housing to make life easier?

Re: Confusing fan switches
On mine when the fan comes on it pretty much stays on because it never gets the temp back to 185. If im on the highway it kicks off when the temp gets lower.

Re: Confusing fan switches
The guy at hypertech is wrong unless you got the wrong switch. My camaro is a single fan setup and has the switch right there. I beleive the dual fans have one of the fans turned on by the chip. What is the part number on your switch? I just had to replace mine again and ill see if its the same numbers on the box as mine.
