Hey! stupid question, i know...
When i purchased my car, it overheated quite often because of a crack in the radiator. After i purchased a new radiator, it still had overheating problems, just not as bad.

Yes, i do have the lower radiator air-dam in place.

I have NO thermostat in my car right now.

The fan for the radiator is wired to always be on when the car is running. The relay is broken i think.

Right now, i want to purchase a thermostat, fan relay, and new fan, and install all of them. I have seen some kits in summit.

Could anyone give me some suggestions on what i would need to purchase to wire my car back to original normal specs? (i.e., Thermostat opens at 180, fan turns on at 180, then lowers temprature down to whatever, then shuts off)

Also, I have noticed that the fan im using right now has a plastic shroud which covers the radiator, to better direct airflow through the radiator. It is a puller style single fan. Would i need to purchase another radiator plastic shroud to install another fan into? the one i have right now is in pretty bas shape.

Also, what would be involved in installing all of these parts?

Thanks for the help!!!

original specs atleast for my car are 195* stat, primary fan on at 226* or something like that and secondary fan on at very hot (I don't know the temp)

Are you sure you need a new fan & motor?
What I did was got a Hayden adjustable fan relay (Pep Boys $40) and hooked that up, now I can control when my fans come on...turn off like 15* cooler...
pretty easy to hook up and has worked well so far

Yeah, i want a new fan, relay, and thermostat.

Trust me, if you have ever had to pull over because your engine hit 280+ degrees, because the rigged wires became lose, the same wires which are spliced at the relay run the fan 100% of the time, you would understand.

It's a huge mess right now, and it keeps coming undone. I just want to get a new fan, thermostat, and fan relay, so i can get my car running good again.

Do i need anything else besides these three parts? don't i need some kind of fan mounts for the radiator or something?

Thanks!!!
