gremlins are back again nooooooo..... i got a almost brand new rad from a junk yard exceptionally clean. Dropped here in and cools like a dream. Well after that my fuse blew for my lights, so I change the fuse and then my headlight switch goes out go figure.
ok my new problem other than that is my fan keeps going into the rad. even thought the rad is not moving at all now. and when she does drive the tach is all over the place. its bouncing like Anna Nichole Smith on speed. any ideas guys?

fix the stumbling problem? this sounds like my 82 when i drove it for fun, it had no FPR... so yah might want to investigate that. also, you can always upgrade to an electric fan then problems are solved and youll get a lil more powa!

yeah i'll prob take this rad to the junk yard cause it to now has a hole in it due to the fan.. i'll get an electric fan for now and just toss it on the zx rad. I can get a working one out of a 88 camero.

well i did a temp fix for now. i put the camero electric fan on the outside to make it a pusher fan. I took off the a/c condensor so there is more room. To mount it I had to use some ZIP ties to hold it down. I then ran some wires to inside the cabin so I can turn it on and off as needed.
