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.

Car will be a daily so Im not going to get too crazy on the mods. New 302 will be dropped by the end of the year. Radiator for sure will be replaced.
Thanks for the heads up.
