quote:make the right decision
My approach will work with:
ANY radiator
ANY thermostat
ANY fan
ANY amperage draw
Your approach will not.
Your approach can very likely mislead fellow owners who do not have exactly the same components as you, Chris.
How many hospitals, Army National Guard armories, schools and two-story high school science buildings have you successfully wired? The ones I wired will be forever serviceable by any educated electrician because they adhered to universal (NECA Code) guidelines, something that is very important when dealing with electricity.
Advice given here for Pantera wiring should likewise follow accepted, era-correct approaches so such advice will correctly serve ALL Panteras, not just yours, this year and twenty years from now.
Respectfully,
Larry
P.S. - Still waiting for one, just one, factory wiring diagram from any new car that has radiator fans wired the same as shown in your drawing. An aftermarket, component-specific diagram such as your Derale Performance unit does not fit the bill.
P.P.S - Forum advice needs to be applicable to the OEM build, or noted/acknowledged to be for non-OEM situations. Bad advice is worse than no advice.
