HI...at least adressing to some of your points...

quote:
Here’s the note from my mechanic’s invoice, advising me to run a new cable directly from the battery to the fans (haven’t done this yet—is it a good idea??)

Yes you want to provide a DIRECT Bat plus cable form the battery to the the front for Fans (..and lights). There is a note from George P on this topic, incl. drawing and text. Each Fan draws app. 10..15 Amps in action, if voltage drops by say 2 volt power goes down you loose 12% power at the fan. .. and the drop might be more..

On that rework I did also change the headlight supply via relays in the front as well. This takes the current off the ignition switch.
Have only a hand drawing for all that so far as work still in progress. At least a foto of the front with the mods, using modern relays with fuse attached. (this frees up some fuses (F3 and F4 at the fuse box, which I after some mods/cuts use now for the Power window motors)).
