Ok I'm looking into the Perma Cool Electric Fan (part# PRM-19115). I was wondering if anyone has used this fan and how well it works and I'm also wondering if it comes with a temp senso so it knows when to turn on. Or if that's just something extra to buy. Thanks

Ok I take it I have to buy a thermostat for the fan since perma cool offers quite a few of them. I dont want to hard wire it because I don't want it to be taking from the alt when I need it. I've seen some that say 210 degrees on/ 170 off which makes sence but I've also seen the exact opposite. Is this a typo or what? Also is there a real need for an adjustable therm? I'd just like to know a little about something b4 I go throwing my money at them. Thanks

The adjustable thermostat is better, but it costs more. If you're lucky, you can spend the $30 for the simple on off thermo switch and guess right. But if you guess wrong, then you have to spend more bux and play again.
210on/170off is a big stretch. Even if you have installed a 180* thermostat, it will never turn off once it's on. Soemthing more like 215on/200off would be better.

So you want the adjustable that way you can make sure your differences aren't so huge because more than likely your not going to reach the min temp if your spread is like 40 degrees?

Very true. Also, sometimes you need to put the sensor in a differant place, so the reading is lower. For example, my old Mustang with a 302. I have a 180* thermostat in there. The electric fan is controlled by a simple thermo switch. Originally I installed a 200*on/185*off. But the only place to install the switch is the water cross over on the back of the manifold. This area doesn't get as hot as the front of the manifold, because the water hasn't traveled through the heads yet. I had to swap it for a much colder switch. I think it's 180*on/165*off. That works very well.
