Gotta love how they bury those banjo fittings.... I'd run the single puller. Is it 2 speed?

If you have AC you'd probably be better off with a 2 speed fan. The problem with using a variable resistor is heat your gonna cut the life of that fan in half when you run an electric motor less then it's normal rpm it creates heat. But a single speed motor is the type to run with that controller. I'm just not a fan of doing it like that.

Yeah.. I ran a "flex a lite" black magic fan in a 85 regal that worked great... When I looked em up, they're $300 nowadays... So I bought the $75 fan, then realized I needed a $75 controller... So really didnt save much...

Gotta wire it up.....
Then brake bleed. Alignment. Likely after that a steering shaft adjustment so steering wheel doesn't look like im making a right turn when im driving straight... Then I got some wheelwells to shore up, and she should be riding.
Then I have 8 more "mods", but no timeline in that...

Od course the wiring stuff was on the 3rd shelf down by the white bucket, buried behind the fender and then the plastic bag split so all the crimps went everywhere...
