    I have an oil cooler and a aluminum radiator for my 0.60 ovr 302, could i get by with a flex-a-lite belt driven fan or should i just invest in an electric fan?

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    I got mine from a 93. The wiring is so simple. Shoot i know it from the top of my head. The thin green wire goes to the I on the old voltage regulator harness. The yellow and red wire go to the battery side of the solenoid. And your done. PS you also have to add a fuse on the red wire.
