'79 Camaro engine (L48)???

Hey guys...

I put a freshly rebuilt '79 Camaro Z28 L48 engine in my '83 Z28 (took out the 305 HO), but now i have a problem.

I know that the switch that turns on the electric fan at running temperature was on the passenger side cylinder head on the 305, but were is it on the 350?

As it is now, i have to use the AC to turn the fan on so it doesn't overheat.. everything else was smooth as butter.

Anyone know were this switch in on a '79 Camaro L48? I am completely lost 'cause no manuals have anything useful in them

Thanks.

It wouldn't have one.

There will be a pipe plug in the head, though. Take it out, put in the switch from your 305, home free.
