it goes in the head on the passenger side near the last two plugs closest to the window,underneath,might be a plastic connector U have to squeeze together to get it off the stock switch(at least it did on mine)

Yah, the #1 and #3 is where the temp gauge sensor is. The fan switch goes on the passenger side, I think its between #6 and #8.

What part number did u order for that Jet Fan Switch? I ordered one from them and that f-cking thing didn't even come close to fitting in that sensor hole. It was way to big. Tell me if everything goes smooth for u.

I ordered it through Summit. I'm pretty sure the part # is Jet-60600. Installation is easy....

It would have been easy for me if they would have sent the right part. Thanks for the part number.

The knock sensor is under the fan switch, in the block. The fan switch is screwed into the head, while the knock sensor is screwed into the block. Make sure you change the top one, and you're ok. Also dont forget to drain your radiator before you change, and you're still going to get a bath of coolant. Make sure the car is cold. I'm speaking from experience here, haha.
