Iam using a Spal (SP) 16" electric fan on my 85 300D, never had a problem with over heating with it. have a switch to activate it, and a toggle to turn it on as an over ride.

eng always stays at the same temp, a little above 80. even driving around town it never comes on. (Yes it does work).

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Here are some pics. I resolved the hood alignment issue by adjusting the latch over.

Got a cooling fan/clutch coming for it. I've been driving it around without one and since there is a real slight leak from the radiator it barely gets to around 82dC.

Vacuuming the a/c system as this is being typed. The blinkers don't work for some reason so I'll have to sort that later.

If anyone has the plastic body piece that is attached at the lower right behind the passenger side front tire I'd appreciate being able to purchase it as long as it is the correct color. I've already got one that is not the right color.

Check out the custom intake. The old one got taken out in the wreck. I'm going to install a sheet metal compartment for the filter.
