I have 2 black wires and a blueish green wire on my mark 8 fan and was wondering how these were hooked up

1 black wire is not used. I believe its the black on in the middle. Just hook to a battery to check which one is the ground for the motor

I am now doing the exact same install as you. I ran into a little trouble after cutting up the fan. I placed the fan into the shroud where I thought the bolts would could be placed. To my surprise the fan hit the pulley. When I placed it back into the shroud I had an area where it was hollow and no bolts could be placed. I think I will have to fab a piece of metal and reinforcement brackets to put in that area. I pm'd the author of the e-fan stickey for advice. Have you run into that yet? Oh, my car is a 1990 and his is a early modle possibly a 84 or 85 and the shrouds are completely different which causes the problems.

The Mark VIII fan is two speed. One wire is for low, the other for high, and the third for the ground.
