This is the hottest part of the cooling system, so you probably want to go with a 92C switch.

Hey thanks for the info, I was talking with whunter the other day informing him I don't have a sensor in the cylinder head. And he was giving me recommendations. I have the temp sender unit in the middle of the head and two plugs on the left and right of it. I have a spare engine with the cylinder head sensor that I can transfer over if it works still. But how do you wire it parallel with the A/C Drier fan switch? I also need a new auxiliary fan because mine is shot and has no continuity and wouldn't run with a 12v lawn tractor battery attached to it
