Hey guys,

I just got my SVE Electric fan, radiator, and overflow can installed on my '91 GT. I also bought a Derale adjustable fan controller. The controller came with a 3/8" thread in probe that I was hoping would thread into the radiator, but it is too large. I spent an hour or so poking around the thermostat and intake manifold and have failed to find anywhere to thread this probe in to. I know a lot of guys run this kit, where did you guys install the probe?

Thanks

You can either get a thermostat housing with a bung on the top, or autometer and FAL sell a piece of tube with a bung in it that you install inline in the radiator hose.

Looks like I'm ordering a thermostat housing.

I drilled and tapped the Thermostat Housing.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?
