IMO yes you would. The adjustable controller lets me synchronize the fan operation to the engine thermostat.

The c1 c2 SB intakes have the oil filler pipe where the tstat housing neck is.

You can get repop foils from Corvette Central. Oreilly Auto Parts sells rebuilt A6 compressors. Dont forget the shims.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but do you realize a nonadjustable 180F on, 170F off unit requires a 160f or 170f tstat to avoid the possibility of continuous operation in hot weather and unnecessary operation in cool weather. A 180f tstat should begin to open at 180 - usually putting...

You have been to too many of our corporate meetings........... I got a 16749 here http://derale.carshopinc.com/product_info.php/products_id/63016/16749

I use a Derale fan control that is completely temp adjustable, accepts 2 fans, and uses a rad probe between the fins to sense temps. It works great and leaves the engine temp to the engine tstat, while making sure the rad stays at the temp you set on the Derale controller. IMO That makes much...

I bought a heavy duty unit from a local shop. I got the number to order from a FL marketer, It cost $45, but I didn't want to trust the electronics to a standard duty unit, so I payed a lot for peace of mind. I don't believe the JCWhitney unit was available when I got my regulator.

I got a $70 135amp replacement alternator from alterstart and it plugged in.

It wasn't the starter that I was asking about. It seems the solenoid has 2 windings, one to instantaneously pull the starter gear into the flywheel teeth and another to hold it there. If the 25amp pull winding cross connects to the 10 amp hold winding, the solenoid will load 35 amps on the 14ga...

If you run the switch wire to the neutral safety switch connector on the harness above the wiper motor, you don't need to cut the wiring and the switch can be disabled by restoring the default plug connection.I forgot about people who leave their manual transmission cars in gear. You guys are...

Safety switch?? Are you installing a switch that requires the pedal down to start the car? If so - bad idea. When my clutch came apart in Montana, the pedal would not go down. I drove it home (2000 miles) that way. Start it in any gear you want.

Shift light?? We don't need no stinking shift light! If you dont know when the torque and horsepower run out (no dyno), shift when the seat of your pants tells you it's not pulling hard anymore and make sure it's before the valves float and/or the studs come out of the heads (usually the red...

IMO the point of the different springs was to get the same ride height when heavy options were added, and to compliment handling characteristics of sway bar and shock changes. I mentioned the fact that my car stands above spec 40 years after it left the factory to underscore the reliability...

Your're right.

My body is about 3/8inch higher than stock. You will have to bend/reset the bumper brackets.Glad I decided to stay with the Muncie.

Ride height is (GM spec) 8 inches to the ground from the bottom of the rocker panels - front and rear. Is the front too high or the rear too low? My car has the original 66 front springs and sits 8.25 off the ground. I like my car tail high, so I raised the rear an inch with shorter spring...

Apprehensions are what make us consider fusible links. I try to think of it this way - if you currently have NO protection, the same flame (as pictured above) can occur anywhere in your car that there is a malfunction. The engineers who ordered the links installed in later models thought they...

I have the alt lines protected by Stinger fuses, and the starter A-C and harness lines protected by fusible links. To keep from cutting the harness to install the link, I bolted the fusible link to the harness lug and bolted the other end to the solenoid post (with an add on lug). My wrapped...

My vote white coves to match the seats. If you want to raise the excitement level, white racing stripes. If you really want a unique effect, flame the stripes only, or flame the front and do the stripe flames in a contrasting color to the body flames.
