OK

yes 94-95s are a pain. I have painfully delt with about every possible problem there is.

yes, your ccrm is burnt up. I had to hard wire my fan off the battery to a relay.

you can get a good 50-60 amp relay for about 20 bucks and run power to it off the battery. ground it and run a turn on wire to a switch in the car AND you can run it to a a temp sensor on the radiator.

This will make your life with the car far far better.

Now the stock radiator with 170 miles sucks, and i mean SUUUUUCKS

do yourself the biggest favor in the world. spend the 169 on the 3 inch radiator from summit. the universal 2 core. There should be some threads on how to install it.

This and a manual fan switch wire up to only the low speed fan will make your car run at 175-180 degrees and 200 with the a/c on in traffic on a 90 degree day.

... I also had an autometer mechanical water temp guage.

There also the famed pinging problems with stock heads. there is alot of part throttle timing around 4k in these cars. I tracked it and as the temps got to 200 the motor would always have faint pinging event at stock timing!

The car also slowed down 1.5-2 mph at the track consistantly when the temps got to 200.

do yourself a favor, do this mod (the radiator) and save yourself years of headaches. its a better investment than any bolton you will do.
